    Page 2 of that thread gives an good idea of how to have both worlds. The clear tubs allow you to decorate and utilize the rack style stacking. That was an arboreal rack but you could probably find smaller tubs to save more room for BP's. The biggest thing to consider is the needs of the animal more then the want for ascetics IMO. BP's do like smaller more enclosed enclosures. My pastel will go completely off feed if I put her in anything larger then a cb70 size enclosure. As long as the animals needs are met they are quite happy in a minimalist or well decorated elaborate enclosure.

    You can stack as many T8s vertically as you want...I know The Serpent Merchant has some stacked...I spoke with Ali at Animal Plastics and specifically asked her how many can safely be stacked and her response is that as long as you are stacking the same models with eachother then there is no limit...I have 5 T8s stacked vertically at the moment myself.

    Holy [expletive]! I wake up this morning and this thread is 3 pages long. I appreciate everyone's input...

    I only asked the question because my dedicated snake room is running out of horizontal wall space. I currently have 2 stacks of T8s. I can definitely go higher and stack a few more, but with the recent addition [err...addiction] to my retic, I am finding I may be adding more retics...which means large enclosures in the foreseeable future. Which in turns means I may not have the room for multiple T8 stacks...I have some time, but like to have a plan before I dive in.

    I guess we could always buy a bigger house....problem solved!

    Buy a bigger house... That cracked me up! It's probably the best option though lol
