Thanks. Got a couple T8s that should be here next week I hope. Then next month I'm going to order another stand and T8 so I will have a stack of 3 T8s next to those T10s, Then I'll order one more T8 for the Peruvian. The 4 T8s with stand will be about 2" taller than the 3 T10s so it will fit pretty nicely. Then later I'll add 3 T25s and then eat ramen for the next 6 months....but I'll be happy :D

Ok. here's a cutesy pic of Caesar in his new hide. This is his "Gotta snack!?" look lol.

That's the LED white lights that came from AP installed. I don't bother messing with it anymore lol. I just rather pay the extra and get a plug and play ready unit. Here's another pic of the lights themselves. Don't mind Vicky in the first pic, she wanted to get in on the action too lol.

They actually are decent. Bright enough to see in the cage easily but not so bright, they blind you.

When I got Tina I made a display enclosure for her, but I hated misting to keep the humidity up so I went to the rack. But man that red light was sweet, it was enough to watch her at night. I know they make wireless remote led strips that change color. I just ordered the basic T8 with a lock. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f1244a22e4.jpg

Yeah I got 2 of the T8s loaded coming hopefully this week or next week. Then I have to order one more and a stand. Then everyone will be squared away until probably end of this year when I'll probably need to order at least 2 T25s and use one of the extra T10s for Peruvian BCC or possibly another retic if I find a SD pied or SD something else that catches my eye lol.

Haha. Ok had a funny thing happen. so the lights were out and I just had the tv on and was watching it. I looked over and noticed it looked like Caesar was cruising around on his shelf. I got up and grabbed my flashlight and shined it into his cage because I thought maybe he dropped a deuce or piss. Well the second he saw the light beam hit the floor of the cage, he was on it like a fly on poop. He chased that light spot around while I was looking for any poopie. Was hilarious, reminded me of when you use a laser pointer on the wall for cats. Anyone else had their retic do that? This is the first time I've had any snake actually chase anything other than food. Then when I turned the light off, he stretched from his shelf to the door to look at me. I went back to watching late night tv and he went back to relaxing on his shelf lol.

I don't shine a light usually but yeah River follows me around. Lol I just checked in on the snake room since it's cold outside and she poked her head out all of sudden and stared at me from the corner of her eye. Every move I made, she'd turn her head just a bit more and come towards me in increments all the while hyperventilating.

She just shed so she is due for a feeding but I wanted to wait until I got a bit of sleep under my belt. The last time I fed a snake half-asleep I didn't latch their tub and I found them under the TV. >.> Only one of 2 escapes I've had in 11 years, and the last one was 2-3 years ago, so definitely don't want to repeat that.

She always comes out to greet me and follows me around until she realizes there's no food. I've tried to make videos by her enclosure before and she sits there rattling her doors climbing on them trying to get to me. Lol

She doesn't strike or anything like that, if I open the enclosure and rub her with the hook she calms down a bit. She's just hopeful.

Haha sounds like Caesar. And he was my only escape in like 20 years and I even had his tub latched. He found out if he pushes the corner hard enough, it will give and he can squeeze out lol. Found him curled up sleeping under a swivel chair.
