I've never actually implemented a sky hide before but I'm doing mine the same way that Reinz does his. Large mirror mounting brackets from lowes secured with #8 3/4" countersink screws. 4 along the back edge of the hide, 3 on each side, and one stop screw at the front so the snake can't push the hide out of the brackets. There's a few threads were he's posted some good pics of them.

LOL if that actually happens I'm going be beside myself in fury, especially after having talked to the shipping company a couple days ago and confirming Tuesday delivery. It could have been here today but I taught classes from 8am-6pm and was on campus til 7 so I couldn't be home to sign off on it and inspect it

I couldn't find anything on this, you have a picture of how it's supposed to look?

Reinz did a nice job with this and I can't wait to try it one day when I decide on what carpet to add to my collection.

I weighed Gene last night, he is 7.8lbs. I'd assume Caesar is more than that. I just cheated, weighed myself then grabbed him.

I'm thinking that if I install everything securely it should be fine. Reinz says one of his carpets is 13.5lbs and the sky hide hold up just fine with 4 mounts in the back and 3 on each side. Phyllis is close to 8lbs so I don't think it will be an issue. I may give Gerald a sky hide in Phyllis's T8, even though it's pretty short I feel like he'd make good use of it.
