    New enclosure....

    Just placed a order for a 6+2+1½ cage made of birch plywood with fiberglass resin coating...
    What can I put in it as well the hide boxes to create privacy and sercurity for my retic. I have 4ft female that is in a 41qt now was going to put her in a 4ft+2+1½ enclosure but rethinking that why move her into a 4 ft cage then move her again in 3-4 months because I'll have another snake ready for a bigger enclosure....

    I use plastic restaurant bus tubs as hides for my adult boas and juvenile retics. My husband has a machine shop so he just cuts an access hole into one edge/side.

    I used a skyhide until Gene out grew it. He loved it! Reminds me I need to order a larger one.

    Wonder if a 41 qt tub to 6 ft enclosure is too much... People have said a 4 ft is ok...
