Great setup, it fall into the "functional art" category!
I just got a pennplax cage too... The added support is definitely worth the few extra bucks. I don't think other cages could handle that big beautiful log across the top.
Thanks everyone the log is really not that heavy, My son and I went to the thrift store and found one of those fake Ficus tree's, Paid $9 for a tree and we just cut it up and then cleaned it up in the bath tub and attached it with heavy floral wire Sometimes I amaze myself lol I love my penn plax, at first he could see himself in it and got a little stressed out, but he got used to it and doesn't bother him at all now.
