"Display" cage...

[zina10]

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.

You should post pictures of your setups !!! They sound amazing
