Great job!!!

I'm just wondering how you heat it? Do you heat with the light only or did you slap a UTH under there or heat it some other way?
 
Light only. With a 60 watt bulb, I get about 75 cool / 85 hot as you see in the pic. With a 40 (which I have switched to) I get about 70 cool / 80 hot.

The snake spent most of its time on the cool side with the 60 watt bulb, which prompted the change to the 40.
 
To add to my previous post, I know the suggested temps for Nelson Milks is between 75 and 85, but I am looking to see what the snake does with the 40 watt.

Even when digesting, the snake would be on the cool side, so I am thinking the 85 degree side might have been a bit too warm for her liking.

Trial and error. I like to adjust things per individual animal as to what it seems to prefer.
 
Thanks for answering! I really like it and with the stand, it looks even better.

Man, I wish I were as creative or "capable". LOL. I'm trying to build an adult corn rack and I'm having a devil of a time with it!! LOL.
 
Just keep making your mistakes. I have learned a TON from mine, and each time I build something it is better than the last.

This was my most ambitious project a few years ago - a 3 level display cage. I ended up selling it because it was just too big for my space. I would love to do something like this again, with improvements of course...
