I've heard about the side set ups but not seen exactly how it was done, thanks for that. That is toatally doable and most likly what I'll go with if I do get a larger snake. I'm thinking a smaller boa, but still not sure what kind. I don't want to spend a crazy amount so a lot will depend on availability in the area, but at least I have a basic starting point. On a side note I have half the screen covered to maintain a proper humidity/temp. It was high on my list as Sampson's prevous owner's lack of husbandry caused multibal layers of stuck shed and a burn. My poor baby was in a cold basement with a heat lamp, with no cover on the screen and a UTH heater that had a layer of rocks over it.
