Ganja got new digs

I finally got my 2x2x2 cube from pvccages.com in and got it up and running. I didn't take build pictures but it was super easy to put together and get up and running. I got a perch extension and on perch water dish holder from Specialty Enclosure Designs and put those in. I decided against live plants for now until I can figure out exactly what I want (leaning toward neon pothos) and if I want it.

She took to the cage right away and ran around the whole thing a few times before settling in on the back perch. Can't wait to see how she really likes and and still hoping she is going to be a healthy and happy snake.

Nice! Now it needs 10,000 more plants, so you can play "where's Waldo" every day.

sweet setup! those decorative ganja leaves really make the whole thing pop!

Looks good but those perches are freakin HUGE!! You should be giving him perches as thick as him at the most or better yet, a little thinner. I was planning on using those bamboo perches but everyone on the GTP boards told me what i just said, you want perches as thick as the snake or even slightly smaller. And i would for sure go for live plants. They give the benefit of cleaning and purifying the air especially in a low airflow cage plus they keep humidity up too.

The top perch is much smaller. I also have the perch extension that is even smaller. I have some vines coming in that will work as perches as well. I also know that she hates thin perches. I offered her several sizes when in quarantine and she refused to use the thin ones until I offered her a thicker pvc.

Gotta use what your snake will use ;)

I like the idea of giving the snake a choice of perches. Thin ones, thick ones, let them decide. Kind of like hides for ball pythons. I like to give them a few different sizes and shapes and see which they prefer.

I hear ya. I gave Pat 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch perches when i had him in a 25 qt tub. He picked the 1/4 inch ones. One thing i was told on the GTP boards was that giving too big of perches can cause skin folds to develop on the snake. They basically have to pancake on the perch to be able to grip it vs just wrapping around it to hold on. So all that pancaking on it can cause skin folds to develop over years. I dont know if it's BS or not but more than 1 person mentioned it. It's kind of like I've heard people talk about keeping boas on newspaper or other 'slick' surfaces can cause them to lose muscle tone over the years and 'pancake' which in a boa, the snake becomes more flat and wide vs tall and square. Again, not sure about that but i have heard it from a few different people.

And i think i figured out why Pat isnt sleeping on his perches and only plays on them at night. They tend to spin. I ended up zip tying a center brace between 2 of the perches so now they are nice and secure. We will see come tomorrow if Pat sleeps on a perch. I know tonight he will like them as he is all over the place even more than Caesar lol.

Oh and did you get the no spin, magnetic perch holders from Specialty Enclosures?

Oh and another thing lol. Your little guy is starting his color change. I'm jealous lol. Cant wait to see Pat start changing colors but i have heard in Biaks, it can take 1-2 years for them to complete it vs other localities changing colors pretty fast.
