Never

Never ever get inside a cage to clean the windows from the inside. Last night I was performing my typical cleaning tasks when I figured the cage windows needed a cleaning. So satisifieds I figured if I got in I could wash them better and in different spots. It's sliding glass by the way. So I get in this 5x2x2, and I'm over 6'. So I'm cramped in, and I did not shut the heat lights off. It was baking in there, with a 100 watt, and a 50 watt. So I'm getting out and manage to burn my back, then I lift my knee and it gets put on the 50watt. Ouch! I managed to escape with just that. So a few minutes later I notice the skin bubbling.

So kids, never go inside a cage to clean it.

goofball ;)

Ow. Ow. Ow.

Not that I'd ever fit inside Phil's terrarium...

LOL luckily for me I think my cages are completely "Jennifer-Proof"...For now....

:D Jennifer

Yep...just another reason why rack systems are so much easier!!! ;)

Yeah they are.. for now this is my "rack system". It's kinda small, but my first one I've ever made, and I think I did rather nicely on it. The enclosures look different now than in this pic, there is aspen shavings in each one. It works rather nicely for me.

I hope that worked! I'm new to using the photo gallery... we'll see.

I sure hope if I get a cage big enough to "barely fit in it" I won't push my luck! LOL!!

Nice rack, what do you keep in it?

I just realized.....it's weird how I can say nice rack to someone here and they instantly know what I mean. Sorry, hehe, realized it after I posted.

ALL ball pythons, heh.....

Jennifer:)

I seem to remember getting myself stuck inside a ferret cage when I was younger. I crawled in there to see if I could fit though, not to clean it, lol. And I feel your pain as far as lightbulbs go -- ouch!
