Breaks my heart doing this but the wife finally said enough is enough. Looking for a good home for my BP. Comes with custom built enclosure that has been my pride and joy for almost 3 years. In his habitat I have a typical curved wooden log, numerous (around 10 large) artificial plants, a couple different pieces of small wood (purchased from a pet store) a nice piece of fake driftwood for an aquarium but has been the only thing I was able to find to support his weight without breaking. Large rock hide to accommodate his size, 2 heat lamps with bulbs only a few weeks old (I have the previous fixtures which you can also have but were replaced because I was changing bulbs almost every month) digital timer/power strip. I recently installed a heat pad for winter time under were I kept his hide, this was just an experiment as I am still a little uncertain with running the pad with my conditions - pm for more details. Also have 2 different water dishes, 1 large corner dish, and the other a medium/large sized deep dish.
Enclosure is made of 3/4" MDF and has 1/2" plexiglass across the front with a jewelers lock, and a large lip behind it to keep as much substrate from getting in the track. Floor of habitat was lined with vinyl floor tiles, then painted, and also sealed the best I could with wood glue. Top is covered with a smaller meshed chicken wire which trust me it's screwed in. I framed it in 3 sections to choose where you want the heat to focus over and maintain a "cool zone".
In my crazy ideas I started purchasing components to build a misting system which you can also have, just missing a couple pieces. I can easily explain to you how I was going to make it work.
He will be 5 this coming spring time and is just about 4 1/2' long and probably over 4" in girth (he's big for a boy).
I'm not looking for any money for him but for all the time and money I spent on his enclosure I am asking for $250. I spent almost that much on just building the enclosure itself not including any decorations. In total I have spent over $600.
I'll include pics first thing in the morning. Located in Vernon NJ.
