2 hides required? Plus temp control
Im investing in a boaphile stacked cage system for my soon to be new balls. Later when my breeding has taken off i'll get same racks but the cages im getting are completely enclosed, solid black on all sides except the front which is where the doors are at. No lights installed at all. They will be on the inside wall across from the picture window so they will have the proper daylight cycle.
Im getting these so that my best snakes can be where i can see them at all times and be able to better control their environment. My house has a large open living room, family room and dining room. These rooms are only seperated by about a 6 inch frame of brick and woodwork. You can walk a circle around the center main wall of my house through my kitchen, dining room, family room, living room, and back again. So getting these stacked cages will not only allow me to have my snakes in the center of the house where they can be seen, but they will also allow for easier control of the temp and humidity. Most of the heat/air in my house gets lost in the open-ness of the main part of the house. The bedrooms are always too hot in winter or too cold in summer since they are rather small and all the heat or air goes there instead of the rest of the house.
Im ordering them with flexwatt x1.5 or x2 since i have a hard enough time keeping my aquariums housing snakes right now, at the correct temp & humidity. Thermostats, hygrometers, UTH, get rather expensive when you need one of each for every tank you have..
Seeing as how these units are made the way they are, very private, being all black with glass or plexiglass doors on front, is it still a good idea to have 2 hides in each of them? Since the flexwatt will run the length of the cages, the warmest area will be along the back and the coolest area along the front where the door are.. Also, do those of you who keep your snakes in a rack system have 2 hides?
