i have another question. how would you make a second floor in a cage? i have herd of people doing it and i would like to know so maybe if its east i could make one my snakes?? does any one know.
 
That wouldn't be a bad idea for a cage for some reptiles, but snakes aren't really too arboreal in nature, unless they have to be. You could simply put a piece of drift wood or a fake plant (real plant would be too messy), and that'll be just fine. :eek:
 
Not sure how much it would help with snakes, but here's a simple design, made with plywood and 2x4's (remember, SAND thouroughly, wash and dry) that I use for my Uromastyx tank.

Hope it helps!

I used this to increase "floor space" in my enclosure, so that the lizards would have more walking room. It also adds a nice bit of shade, and basking spots closer to the heat lamp (if you use them).

Just make sure that it is easily removable from your tank, as it will need to be cleaned regularly.

Something to think about....

Anything that you put in the cage that gets the snake closer to the lid will increase the chance of an escape. If the appropriate counter-measures are in place to eliminate the possibility of escape, fine.
 
That's a really good point...

Like I said, I use this for Uromastyx Lizards, and they dont do much climbing, they actually seem content to stay in their home. I would think that re-re-reenforcing the cage lid for snakes would be wise.

As a person who has lost a snake to escape, I can tell you that it's not a good feeling.

Yep!

Losing a snake is awful, but losing it through escaping is raw!

Maybe someone should make a snake friendly re-inforced concrete cage or something! HEHE!
