    I saw those too, but I wondered about how secure they are. How tightly does the front close? I would worry about a larger snake being able to get out, but man does that look cool for littler snakes.

    Re: Poor mans vision cage

    You can easily modify it to be escape proof. That's a great find!

    The gecko people have been using this for a while. It looks like a great cheap enclosure!
    Nice pick up.

    Re: Poor mans vision cage

    They have a small, a medium,and a large, I believe. I have considered this option for my BPs for a long time now, I'm still working on a snakeproof prototype in my mind. Would love to try it out.

    Re: Poor mans vision cage

    The large is approx. 67qt, if I remember my calculations correctly. However, it does sacrifice floor space for vertical. And I'm thinking a few deadbolts would do the trick, but I kinda wanna,get my hands on one to try it out.

    My immediate though was a hook and eye closure on each side, just glued or riveted near the top. Unless the plastic is really bendy, that would probably work.
