    Enclosure is way too big
    I purchased a PVC enclosure for Ginger and it is waaaay to big. It measures 48x23x23. Any idea on how to make it feel homey for Ginger? I can't return it. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...b5a04dde5e.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c79542be26.jpg

    Multiple Hides, lots of big fake plants, or put a big bin in there to take up some space maybe.

    Add a bunch of stuff to clutter it up. More rocks, branches, hides, plants, etc. That way she'll feel safer and the vast expanse won't intimidate her ;).

    I like that cage! Where did you get it?

    Ed Lilley from constrictorsnw.com. I have to get heat tape and LOTS of decorations. I might try a "mini terrarium" with succulents and other live plants.

    I wonder if it's possible to make a shelf or "climbing wall."

    I have a Ball Python in an enclosure that's even bigger than that, and he is just fine. He has been in it since 1 week after he hatched! The bkey is just to provide a lot of hiding spots, deep substrate so they can hide under it if they need to and the correct husbandry.

    Get a second smaller enclosure to put on top.

    Get a male boa for the bottom one.

    Yes I am an enabler. :D
