Your new cage looks great. It’s going to be fun watching how your collection comes together.

If it's me, I buy some epoxy resin (usually available from like a Lowes or Home Depot nowdays) and coat the bottom and a few inches up the sides. Super easy. Mix equal parts and pour it in, spread it around, and you have 100% waterproof cage bottom that can't be destroyed. It's clear so it would show your new paint too.
Just my $0.02 and typical nitpicking :rofl:
That's an understatement. I am always picking up little dollops of white piss around Caesar's cage. He never drops huge ones like the boas, instead he just dabs a little all over haha. His poops though, those are like the size of a small child. Luckily those only come about once a week. But yeah, if you dont mind literally having to spot clean once a day, you will like a retic.

I second the good choice with glass. I had Rosey strike an acrylic door on her old Constrictors NW cage and it left a scratch on it. Had Caesar strike his glass doors a few times and it leaves a mouth mark which is easy to wipe off with some F10.

Same here for my large Coastal Carpets. It’s like as soon as they hit the 7 foot length, no more big piles of urates. A bunch a small ones all over, everyday, for 6-9 days nonstop, with a little paintbrushing in between- and I mean smeared all over the shelves. It’s like some kid comes in and squeezes out Elmer’s glue all over. Not so, with my 6 + foot Jungle Carpets.
My Boas are like yours too, just one or two big globs or stools, even my big boy.
That’s why I will never go all out on decorations and landscaping like Gio and others.

Haha yup. Luckily Caesar hasnt dragged it onto his shelf yet.
And yeah, Rosey dropped a huge urate this morning in the corner. It was the size of a large strawberry. I found it quick enough, it didnt have time to set into concrete yet lol.
While i love the natural setups like Gio's, i too couldnt do it for Caesar. The boas could and obviously the GTP as Pat is weird i guess and actually comes down to the floor to drop a deuce or piss. He never just drops them off his perch.

Yep! This is why I don't do fun enclosures for the bigger snakes https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...236712a6a8.jpg
And of course this was within moments of putting her back in her freshly cleaned and disinfected cage. Half pint of piss waterfall off the shelf...
