I was wondering if I can sit 2nd snake faun on top of Dakota's faun? The heat mat wont be in direct contact as there will be 2 cork mats, then a folded bit of tin foil, then heat mat and faun sitting on top of that. I know it will mean fafffing when I want to take out snake in bottom faun but could it be ok in mean time?
Can you do that or is it a daft idea? Don't have space for snakes sorted out at the moment, Dakota's faun is sitting on a fold down table at present lol  |

trust me, you will soon get sick of moving the top one off, plus the heatmat and tiles etc just to do water changes and spot clean the bottom one or everytime you get the snake out!
Get a cheap side table from ikea, £7.99 :) |

| Chris I'm not daft nor irresponsible and I always take the advice from here, i did not know if this would be a good idea or not, i now know it is not, i may be inexperienced in snakes but i am not stupid, i will just use cheap folding tables until i sort something out. |

| I think I would probably get fed up with the faffing around everytimg i wanted to go into the bottom faun. Also you would have to make sure the thermostat probe was back in the right place on the top one and make sure temps were ok again everytime. |

| i never said u were in experienced or anything of the sort ailsa, but u did say 'it's in a corner out of the way and no kids running around to knock anything' adults are just as likey to knock or bump it as kids! to often we hear of people havin fauns knocked an the lids get dislodged this is why people tent to use rubs more now an they lids are locked on |

I had 2 kittens when I first got Nimbus. I walked in the front room after being in the kitchen for 5 mins, and both kittens were sat ontop of the faun looking through the plastic window on the top!

| No my cats know better than to jump on tables, only place they jump up on is part of kitchen work top i don't use for food prep, they like it as the sun belts in on it but no they are well behaved cats and know what they are not allowed on and they only tend to knock my candle holders of bathroom window ledge |

| Chris i know what you said, a little blunt and possibly tarring me with the same brush as some of the people on here who do some stupid things, im just not one of those people i take good advice, use it and stick by it, weeks ago i knew nothing about correctly caring for a snake, now i've learned a vast amount just from reading threads on this site and absorbing all the info |

| it was not tarring with the same brush, it was using previous users experiances to advice of what can sometimes happen, after all thats the whole idea of being on here right, to gain from peoples experiance |

| I don't think its a good idea , along with the sliding off etc , would be a nite mare trying to get to the bottom one all the time . Ours are sat next to each other with one mat stat and one mat and its perfect for now . I don't think anyone was calling u stupid or inexperienced , just pointing out what u asked using other peoples experiences , after all that's what keeping snakes is about , learning as we go and gettin more experienced . The bookcase idea sounds fab and on two tables in the corner wud be fine too :) |

It would really concern me that any cats are around snakes in lightweight containers, the reality is you cannot surpress cats instincs and you cannot keep an eye on them all the time, possibly an accident waiting to happen?.
Kindest regards
