Congratulations on you T25! Could you explain how to make a sky hide? My snakes would love that! I'm not a handy person, so as many details as possible would be very appreciated.

I've never actually implemented a sky hide before but I'm doing mine the same way that Reinz does his. Large mirror mounting brackets from lowes secured with #8 3/4" countersink screws. 4 along the back edge of the hide, 3 on each side, and one stop screw at the front so the snake can't push the hide out of the brackets. There's a few threads were he's posted some good pics of them.

Ali wanted me to relay a message to you since she didnt want to get yelled. They seem to have shipped your cage to a different customer so they will have make you a new one. Should only take 10 weeks since you will be pushed to the front of the line.

LOL if that actually happens I'm going be beside myself in fury, especially after having talked to the shipping company a couple days ago and confirming Tuesday delivery. It could have been here today but I taught classes from 8am-6pm and was on campus til 7 so I couldn't be home to sign off on it and inspect it

I couldn't find anything on this, you have a picture of how it's supposed to look?

Reinz did a nice job with this and I can't wait to try it one day when I decide on what carpet to add to my collection.

I'll be interested to see how it holds up the weight of a retic. I know carpets are decent size but maybe the kalatoa is comparable. I imagine Caesar is pretty heavy so I imagine the hide would buckle and collapse under his fat behind haha.

My cage should arrive today as well.
House party time!!😊

I weighed Gene last night, he is 7.8lbs. I'd assume Caesar is more than that. I just cheated, weighed myself then grabbed him.

I'm thinking that if I install everything securely it should be fine. Reinz says one of his carpets is 13.5lbs and the sky hide hold up just fine with 4 mounts in the back and 3 on each side. Phyllis is close to 8lbs so I don't think it will be an issue. I may give Gerald a sky hide in Phyllis's T8, even though it's pretty short I feel like he'd make good use of it.
