Hello....I'm in Baltimore County, MD...I just built my first snake cage a few days ago....actually 2nd...I built the first one and I didnt like it so I built another one and I think it came out rather nice...in my opinion. The cage is 36 x 16 x 16. The wood is treated and not harmful to the snake so there will be no mold or anything like that from the humidity.

The top is ventilation board and I cut out an area for the light to shine in and put plexiglass on top of it. The whole right side swings open like a regular door with hinges and latches in 3 separate places so it's impossible to open from the inside...it's almost impossible to open from the outside.

I have a lot of materials left so I am thinking of building an extension on the left or right side...kind of like a mini tank attached to it with a small opening where the snake can go when it wants to get away from every day life in it's regular cage. I built 2 hides in to the right back corner and I also have another one that I have but I took it out for a little while until I am set on how I want the inside to look permanently...but I'm happy for now.

My temp during the day stays between 78-80 (cool side) and 85-91 (warm side) and the humidity stays between 65 and 82 but it seems to be steady at 72. I think the 2 plants keep the humidity at the level it is. First try and I think it's pretty successful...what do you think?

Any changes or modifications you would make?

Today I bought an ACURITE Indoor Humidty Monitor which displays Current Temp and Humidity and the daily High/Low Temp and Humidity. Can't beat it for $8.00. The top number is Humidity and the bottom is the Temperature.
