| It's completely stunning. Do you keep there snakes even in the winter ? Do they hibernate there ? |

| About building the cage: I use a stainless steel tub on with I we built a wooden frame with glass on three sides. One site is with small net structure. The top is also partial glas and gaze. In the ground of the stainless tube we drill some holes, so rainwater can drain. Filled this uo with some lake stones and forrest soil. For colder periodes or colder nights we use some polystyrene boxes filled with leaves. If the winter will get really cold, we will take the boxes( with snakes inside ) out of the cage and store them in the basement of the house. There they can hybernate at temperatures over 5 degrees celsius.  |

| Wow... Very nice! I really want to do the same for years now but I don't think my neighbours will understand and it's impossible to hide.
Cheers, Ro. |
