Well since you guys didn't like my snake enclosure, please post pics of yours. Any enclosure will do. Describe what you have in it and how you ended up with such cage.

oh...how I ended up with them: I'm poor; they're cheap; they were also recommended to me by people on the kingsnake.com forums, including Kara from NERD, because they retain heat and humidity better than glass cages.

And there's no way my snakes are busting out of those.

Your enclosure was fine...it was just silly what you said about the alternatives out there....

I personally liked your set-up, I just didn't agree with your rack comment.
 
Here is my ball pythons home:
29 gallon tank with 2 hides, one is over the heat source.

36" standard style Neodesha cage. Traded with a friend a 55-gallon tank. This suited my ball python better.

24" custom snake enclosure. Found it at a LPS for dirt cheap. At the time of this photo, it housed a small chain kingsnake, but its most recent tenant was my milksnake.

24" used feeder fish acrylic tank from Petsmart. Obtained free. As depicted, it once housed two small RESs but now actually houses my milksnake (the cage above was too small).

16-gallon acrylic fish bowl. Dirt cheap from a LPS. Quite effective set-up for various geckos and frogs (using the Bioactive Substrate System).

12x18" Exo-Terra enclosure. 50% employee discount at LPS. Housed a dwarf Pacific tree boa.

I actually had a 75-gall tank I used for several animals over the years, but I don't have a pic of it readily accessible. Might post it later.
 
I just setup my brand new bally in a 90 gallon tank that I used to keep fish in til it cracked. :P
 
fishnutham, I realy like your set up. I think I found the problem. Everyone thinks a rack system is something different.

For me a rack system is:

Cage to small for the animal housed.
ZERO decorations or hides.
Small water bowl to small to even fit it.
Entire "enclosure" must be slid out to see the animal.
