    My real tree branch perches are not straight and dip a bit so they are only 3-4 inches off the floor in some areas.

    One thing I want/need to do is make the bamboo a little more rough. The vines spin easily on it and if my guy is not sharing the other 2 branches he sometimes grips and then the vines spin, he goes upside down and will fall if he is not gripping tightly.

    After a few spills he seems to realize that branch is a bit more tricky.

    I'm considering moving our Royal from her glass tank into this cage and moving up to and 18" or 24" high cage. Not to give her (BP) a bigger cage, but to increase the ceiling for the boa.

    There is NO DOUBT that if a boa has a chance to climb, perch and feel evenly supported, that it will do so.

    Every feeding session with the exception of 2 have been arial assaults.

    You will enjoy your snake experience 10X more when you give them a cage that challenges them as nature would.

    That said if you have a large number of snakes, this can become quite a task.
    As I spend more time with my Hog I realize he does like to climb (I got him about two weeks ago from a friend) so I already had the T8 ordered (yes its 12") since it was a spur of the moment "rescue".

    When I move on my own and have more money I wouldn't mind getting him a taller tank.

    I appreciate the input and being cool with me copying! I like how its very clean looking while also being useful. As for putting your royal in there, that's a good idea but if yours is anything like mine, it will fall off so frequently in the first week it will smack itself half simple lol.
