This is my panther cage.
So cool! How did you attach your piece of wood in your cage?

Building a new cage 49.75" x 24.25" x 24.25". I was originally going to go with a mesh 48" x 36" x 24" cage but decided a partially enclosed cage would be better for the cold winter months and keeping the water contained. I actually using 2' x 4' hardboard instead of plywood, since I couldn't find anything decent. I will be painting the inside with latex paint, so I don't have to worry about water absorption and mold in the hardboard.

I LOVE YOUR CAGE.
I plan on stealing the idea of the crossed wood along the back. I love how it looks and Commah would LOVE it! Thanks for the great idea!

These setups are amazing, that push pin/tack idea for branches is awesome.
I am converting from a glass cage, to full screen and want to change things up with at least 1 living plant.
Couple of questions though:
-Some of you have alot of stuff sitting on the floor, how do you clean the poop?
(I have paper towels that can be easily replaced due to nothing on the floor)
-For those without feeder cups are you guys hand feeding? I like to try to let my guy hunt and let him get superworms off the ground, but for the most part he is too lazy. (He doesn't really like crickets anymore)

I clean the poop and any dead leaves daily by hand. The bottom of mine is screen so I can also just spray loose material through to clean it. I hand feed roaches, or let them crawl on the screen under close supervision. I put silk worms and hornworms on branches and let them hunt. I also release mantids as they are eaten almost immediately. Its really a combination of hand feeding at different distances and levels along with some free hunting.

what kind of branches did you use for the cage? I like the way they lookI went for a more "minimalistic" look for this set of cages, thinking that the pothos will take over in no time. They have grown quite a bit since I took these photos last month, and I have since added more branches (I have to find them, so I add more as I spot ones I like) so it looks a tiny bit fuller but the feel remains the same.

Thanks! Just branches from outside. I forget the name of the tree this moment, but it's one that grows around here. You can use anything except pine, as long as it is a non-toxic plant (for example, don't use Brazilian pepper or oleander).

Did you just bake them or spray with a Clorox mixture befor e putting them in the cage?
Why not pine? I hadn't heard that one yet and I have lots of pine around me. Is it a sap issue or other?
