Thanks a bunch! That's really helpful.Originally Posted by Reinz
Yes I use mirror clips, but learned a few lessons.
I now only use the big, 3/4 inch clips, especially for larger snakes. As seen below, Esmarelda, a 7 foot JCP, forced a coil in that hide which is not tall enough. She was strong enough to snap the ears off some of those small clips. Along with that and the hide flexing, it gave way. You can see the hide sitting on the shelf right below the mounting clips.
I also learned that installing the clips BEFORE assembling the cage is exponentially easier than installing them after the cage is together.
This is the reason I go ahead and install clips for next size up as well. When they outgrow the large hide I simply remove the clips on one of “width” sides and then slide in an XL hide.
Do you have a link to the large clips? Or did.you just get then in store?
For now, I'm setting it up with just the Large hide. The hangar bracket would make it tough to do that right now and the large is probably 1 to 1 and a half sizes too big right now. (He has probably outgrown the small size that was in the cage he used to have, but the mediums he has now are still very big for him, though he does use to oversized large sky hide.)
