Cant wait for the pics of the inclosure and the snake. Is he going to get a partner to go in there with him?

: from my friend Dan Felice, alias dangerous dan (code name: double D)lol. He's a 2 year old captive bred 3 to 3 1/2 footer. I had a male long term captive from Costa Rica that never acclimated and he passed away awhile back. With double D's advice and direction, Del and I built a cage with plenty of vertical room and wire mesh sides for him. I'll take some pics in a few days. The cage sits on another rack system and goes vertilce to about 3 inches below the ceiling. It has vertical branches and horizontal ones that were purchased at a local pet store that are actually fake ones. I held him for about 25 minutes after taking him out of the shipping package so he could warm up and put him in the cage. He cruised around for awhile and then began his climb up to the horizontal branches. He sits comfortably on the branches about 8 feet in the air and looks down at us. What an amazing display snake. Thanks double D.
