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?

Responding to email notices you receive.

In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."
Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....
could this be trouble down the line? (heat panel positioning)

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?
