"Display" cage...

[distaff]

Mine are all North American, I wouldn't be able to adequately heat the Exo-terras for a ball python - not in winter, anyway. Our winters are mild, but we keep a fairly cold house.

The king and corn are small enough to be easy on the plants. Hedera helix (English ivy) is wiry and tough, and might withstand a much heavier animal. It grows very well in my vivs. Potos, Philodendron, and Tradscendentia (sp.?) (wandering Jew) also do very well in them. The way I look at it, even when the snakes are hiding, I still have lovely indoor tropical gardens to enjoy.

This is NM, so we are extremely dry. I had to struggle with good sheds before the plants, now the humidity seems to self-regulate, and the snakes have had all perfect sheds since. The Rosy boa, however, must have it dry, so her display is merely an attractive arrangement of heavy sticks set in a Sani-chip substrate.

I don't yet own any, but I think even AP's might make a good display if one were to decorate around them like you did with the Neodesha. I've been thinking of getting a box turtle sometime in the future. Because of the space requirements of a turtle "table," I was thinking a custom made one might work stacked on top of a couple of AP's. Box turtle tables are typically heavily planted. ...a pretty display, even if the AP interiors themselves are strictly utilitarian.
