    Your talking 3' width correct? not height.

    I have Sicle the corn in a 36wx18hx18d front opening Exo-Terra right now, found some pvc 1" pipe and fittings in the garage and am trying to build a jungle gym
    type playground that's fits in there with his hides ect. Figured he would like that, along with a hanging small basket you told me about earlier for him to hang out in.

    Just figured the bigger the cage the better for his length.

    I also have the hand built cage I got last summer when I got Cheyenne, It's in the garage trying to find the time
    to make room for it in the house, and get it cleaned up and bought in so he has another play area when I have him out.

    Also another question for you guys / gals.....

    With a RHP in an AP type cage (pvc) The way they work, they keep the interior of the cage at a stable temp, So I'm less dependent on ambiant
    room temperatures?

    So the house can be cooler, and I can easily keep the interior of each cage at a comfortable temperature for each snake?

    My RHPs hold heat very well inside my pvc enclosures even during winter but I still boost my ambient room temps with a heater during those colder months.

    How warm do you boost it too?

    My house stays at 70 degrees or so in the winter

    I'm not one of those who likes it 60 degrees that's too cold for me

    My reptile room ambient winter temps are about 75. They're 78-80 during the summer.
