Cage updates!
The cage for the pair of Pseustes got a couple upgrades recently. Much more greenery was added as well as well as another shelf closer to the heat source just in case they want it. I also figured out my latches to keep the doors closed. I fabricated the whole things myself because I couldn't find anything I liked.
The seals for the plastic to extrusion seem to be holding back the arboreal poo splatter pretty well and the whole cage is working very nicely. My only problem so far is a small lack of ventilation I plan to remedy this with a couple vents near the top of the cage that I can plug up during the evening hours to keep heat in.
Full cage:
The new basking shelf, this is kind of temporary just to see if the snakes use it:
The latches I made:
The gap in the connectors is from slightly oversized plastic pushing the frame out... I'm not going to worry about fixing it till the plastic is all scratched.
I also made these plastic plant holders out of torched PVC hot glued to the cage. These snakes have a way of climbing off everything and knocked all the zip-clips off every day:
The happy couple, They do seem to spend all their time together but I have yet to see signs of mating.
A couple of large colubrids:
Thanks for looking,
Nate

Re: Cage updates!
Wow; what a beautiful cage! It is very professional looking but creative at the same time, and your snakes seem quite happy in it. 
Thanks for sharing!

I haven't really decided yet, at the moment they will be housed together indefinitely but I do have an empty 4x2x2 to pull them apart if needed. There are a lot of people who keep these "sorts" of snakes together all the time and have no ill effects. plus the size of the cage does let them get away from each other if needed.
Thanks all for the replies!
Nate

Re: Cage updates!
Saw a pair of these at the OKC expo recently; I fell in love!
Sorry to've missed this thread, I read a long while you were in the process of building the cage initially. It turned out fantastic, I just love it!
Congrats.
