    Display cage
    Several years ago I kept a pretty decent sized collection of bloods and gtps. Over the years I got out of it but kept my favorite gtp, and I figured since I only had the one that I might as well have a nice display cage. I have been missing having a more substantially sized snake for awhile but no longer want to manage a blood sized critter so I decided to purchase an '18 lesser bp. Terrestrial snakes obviously don't make the best display animals but I'm hoping that some of you have display tanks to share to give me some ideas.
    This is my gtp's cage:

    Your GTP is gorgeous, lovely enclosure as well. Can not wait to see your precious new babe, congratulations, with your decorating ability I am sure you could make an animal plastic enclosure look brilliant :gj:

    wow! your GTP looks huge! how old is it and it's size/length?

    Thanks! She's 5 years old, about 3.5 - 4ft I think...not a super big girl compared some of the biaks I've had. However, I think she's probably a mountain locale based on her neo color and mite phased siblings, which accounts for her smaller size. She's also very mellow and easy to handle, as long as you don't smell like rat....she has struck and constricted herself twice so I definitely don't want her to tag my hand at feeding time.
    I wasn't thrilled about having to mount the panel on the back wall but there wasn't enough room on the ceiling. I'm going to mount another one under it so I get better heat distribution. I would definitely recommend a ceiling mount.
    For now I'm going to throw him in a tub when he gets here until he's eating regularly and then I'll start thinking of a set up. I usually convert old furniture, like my gtp's china cabinet.
    It was so crazy when I started looking at bp's...I had never really looked at them before but I knew of some of the morphs years ago because I had a friend who was into them. Everything has come down so much in price, and there's tons of stuff I've never heard of. I was only looking to spend $200 max and the morph didn't matter...I just wanted something that visually appealed to me. I looked at several leopards but stumbled across this little lesser I also liked, and then I realized he was only $75...perfect.
