Ummmm.....Steph.....you do know that snakes eat birds and eggs??????right........and they will do whatever it takes to get out of the tank....etc they are in to get in the cage that birds and eggs are in. Just checking. Hope you find your cages. I just bought 2 cockatiels, came with 2 large cages on stands yesterday.....the dark side is strong......and I'm still gonna get my zebra finches for my b-day or else! It is a full moon? paulette
