I think it’ll make an awesome enclosure. I’d love to have some funky, alternatively geometrically shaped enclosures. I can’t wait to see the finished...

ok awesome thank you for that tip it was a little nerve racking so i just wanted to make sure i was doing it right and thanks to amazon prime i got...

Great! Viper was in his new cool-side hideout this morning. I'll put the aluminum on today. it sounds like, for now, I should stick with the UV...

I used the Lexel sealant by Sastacho because that's what Animal Plastics sent me with the enclosure. I just did a thin bead and ran my finger across...

Years ago, I converted a wood cabinet to house a gopher snake, but the floor was much too thick for heat to rise from underneath using UTH. While...

Yeah I usually try to set my hand down gently right in entry way of her warm hide. She usually crawls off my hand and goes right into her hide but...

I agree that heating is your first issue. I'd check to see if you have enough space to add a socket and cage for a CHE or DHP. Five inches isn't a...

I like it, personally. Easy enough to cut a hole for access to the drawers too -but make absolutely SURE there's no gaps where a snake could get...

FYI, by "sealant" do you mean the silicone aquarium-type sealant? It gives off highly-irritating acidic (vinegar-like) fumes & can take LONGER than...

When I got my second BP as a 3 month old she used to do something similar - right after handling she'd zoom around her enclosure. I was never sure if...

Awww thank you!! I really hope she does!

She so deserves a good, considerate owner like you. :gj: And you'll get there, I predict. She'll calm down.

The forum's care guide is worth a read if you haven't already:...

She keeps coming to the front to check me out whenever I'm near.... but yeah I will wait a couple weeks and let her settle and eat, I'm going to feed...

When I said mean I just meant she bites alot, I don't think its a mean snake... Like i said in my post.. I understand she's stressed and hungry, so...

Personally, I wouldn't be in any hurry to handle her. She's clearly not ready. Get her feeding regularly first. That's the most important thing. ...

The smells are further lessening, and really only seem to manifest directly under RHPs so there's at least the comfort that the rest of the...

Patience, for sure. It's unusual for BPs to be nippy, but some are- and like you said, it's combined with hunger too. For snakes that are...

Exactly what just came out of my mouth too! :bow:

She's looking great! And enjoying a sun-bath- :D

Wow! He's beautiful.

Covering the screen top with foil is fine- & one of many options that will work- also is less "messy" than doing it all up in duck tape. ;) I...

That's FANTASTIC news! :dance: Some of the things that snakes survive just amazes me- it's why I'd rather have a rescued snake than one I just...

Mouse 2 in the belly, he was out and hunting hard

Got her some outside time for ~3yo update.

2yo update: He grew a lot this year, up to 452g.

Unless things have changed in the last 5 or so years... CHEs may require a different housing. If your dome has a solid back, it won't work. It will...
