He is my most beautiful animal, and also moves with the most hypnotic grace, but this tall narrow tank may not be suited to him.
How far off the back of the terrarium do the ledges extend? I made one for my baird's rat snake and it extends about 8-10 inches out at one point and about 4-5 at another and she's on it all the time.
