Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

could this be trouble down the line? (heat panel positioning)
here's how I put them up. I've got a Retic in there and it just seems that if she chose to hang out up there she'd rip it down. Any suggestions?

You've linked to thumbnails, so it's a little hard to see the details, but I can tell where you have a large gap around the heat panel.
I would say yes, the snake will climb up there at some point and possibly tear down the panel. You just have to assume that the snake will explore every inch of his environment, and any such weaknesses will be discovered.
That tight ares would make a nice little place to hang out, but as he grows and has to wedge himself in to get in there the pressure may be too much.
I've found that any electrical cords for lights running inside a cage must be stapled down very well or the snake will get under those as well, and a shelf area like that would be much more inviting than just a wire to hang from.
If you need to have the panel offset form the ceiling of the cage like that I'd suggest you design a base for it that reaches out to the perimeter of the panel just to be sure he can't damage it later on.
Is that spacer that keeps the heat panel from sitting flush actually part of the panel?
