Ideas?? I'm always game to show off some caging ideas.

I have 3 different snakes and I give all of them climbing opportunities.

The top cage here (48" x 24" x 14") is for a royal, a fairly boring and terrestrial snake. But guess what I see somewhat often in the late night hours? If you guessed some climbing, you are correct.

The bottom cage is larger, (48" x 30" x 20") and houses a locality boa constrictor. He is rather semi arboreal and I ring him climbing and perching often.



The last cage is 48" x 24" x 24". It houses a coastal carpet python. She is highly arboreal, though looking at this picture one would think differently.



I use a combination of wood dowels wrapped with vines, and some real tree branches for perches.

If you have a mainland retic, you may have to get creative and spend some $$ to get the climbing and perching you desire once the snake is large.

But if you have super dwarf, you could arguably use the same setup I use for my coastal.

If you can find another branch that has a fork at one end, put that (fork) toward the top and the snake will be supported more evenly.

Even the huge retics will climb if they have a chance.

This thread has some nice pictures.

Note the forked branches and size of the cage.
