    Cage height?

    I am building some cages for an indigo. I have a 6 feet by 2 feet footprint available. I can't make it any wider due to a door swing. I was going to go 2 feet high just to make the cuts easier. I could go as high as 3 feet. How much cage height does a full grown indigo need?

    Second shed in two months - need to worry?

    I have a mature milk snake/ kingsnake who shed well on 3/12/06. He then shed again on 5/21/06. Do I need to worry about this? Is he reacting to his bedding? Is he eating too much? Thanks in advance.
