My Custom Stacked Snake Cages, Red Tailed Green Rat Snake, and Enclosure

I show my homemade/custom stacked arboreal snake display cages (show the basic design). I also show the naturalistic enclosure that I have set up for one of my Red Tailed Green Rat Snakes (Gonyosoma oxycephalum). I then show my 2009 CBB female Red Tailed Green Rat Snake.

could u give me the dimensions

[Gonyosoma7]

@MrDavidsherps Both cages are approximately 4'x2'x3', and then they both have an 8'' gap above for the lighting. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Very neat enclosure. You said she was a little monster when you first got her, is that typical of red tails?

[Gonyosoma7]

@jamezsutherland Thank you! Yes, red tailed green ratsnakes are well known for typically having a nasty temperment. Most wild caught specimens never really tame down, but most cb and juvenile ones can be tamed with consitent and gentle handling. But even the one in this video will still ocasionally bite me when she is startled. I also find that I am most likely to be bit as I am removing them from the cage, so use of a hook when doing this is quite helpful sometimes.

Awesome cage, I just got one of these guys in a trade today, he's in a 30 gallon now, but I'm planning on converting an old dresser into something he should just love.

@PinkyIsBlue Sweet! I am sure you will really enjoy yours! Good luck with your custom cage! That should make a really nice enclosure!

@linzee4584 I will probably put my Tiger Ratsnake (Spilotes pullatus) in the bottom cage once he is bigger, but until then it will probably remain empty.

So what are you going to put in the bottom cage?
