Pythoninfinite said:It's generally much easier to get a good thermal gradient with a cage that's wider rather than too high. Your cage will get very cold at the bottom at this time of year, and if the snake gets too cold down there may lose interest in climbing up to the heated part. Having the top fully perforated will also let too much heat out - you should cover at least most of it so that the heat remains trapped. Just some thoughts.
Wider is better than taller (for the snake), with the heat source/s at one end to give you a good gradient, and unless you're in a very warm part of Oz, it's better to have ventilation in the back or sides of your cages. What looks appealing to you may not work very well for your reptile.
