    Recommended BP enclosures?
    I slimmed down my collection to my tokay gecko and my bp. My tokay's cage is an awesome aboreal zoo med enclosure all set up but I have my BP in an ugly glass tank. I want to get something nice as this for awhile will be my only snake but I'm not sure what would look nice and be cost efficient. If anyone has any recommendations I would appreciate it.

    I live in Canada so I got my PVCx enclosure from Greg West of
    http://www.cornelsworld.com

    Although, its basically the same thing. Here's my setup:

    It's amazing at keeping humidity and temperature!

    That looks awesome, I'm definitely going to look into a t8 once I get the money to do so. I have my new BP in a 40g at the moment and monitoring heat and humidity is a bit tricky but I'm getting it done. Since I'm only going to be keeping this one snake I want to actually spend the money on something nice and from looking at yours it'd be perfect.

    Sorry for the photo quality but here its a picture of my T8, pretty basic setup. Mine is used to house my two ball pythons.

    Here is a good link explaining the T8 in better detail.

    (wife did the decor on top lol)

    these are nice but I have heard that the PVC cages tend to build up odor from urates and poo over time, has anyone had that experience?
    because of that I have been considering proline because the material is supposed to be less porous and therefore not build up odors but I am still in the looking bussiness too so I will follow along to see what others think as well, thanks

    I personally have not had this issue but I would think that could happen with any enclosure if not properly maintained.

    I have had 2 Animal Plastics enclosures for the past 4 1/2 years and neither of them have any odor at all.

    No I have a pvcx that is just over three years old and it is just fine no smell at all. If properly cleaned and sanitized I see no reason why it would smell. The only issue is that few keepers seem to understand how to disenfect/sanitize. Make sure you follow the instructions for a given product. Carefully following them should prevent any oder and remove old ones. (that are caused by bacteria anyway)
