Boaphile Rack Installed

Nope, I was there when she set up and had my hands all over that one! LOL! No dimples! But I see what you mean, I had the same thing happen on one of my Boa's pic's... Posted the pic, then had to go get her back out to make sure her eye was OK! Good Eye!

Hey, I didn't see that earlier... it's hard to tell from the pic if the eye is dimpling or not... I couldn't really tell you yes or no. Laooda took all the snake pics while I worked on the rack. That particular snake is in shed as we speak, so I'll make sure to check out his shed afterward to see if his eye caps came off as well. He has shed well for me before in his old 10-gallon tank, and now he is in the rack, which has higher humidity... so I think he'll be fine.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for the advice... I read some similar stuff about this before. Where did you get your Ranco?

Well, a buddy of mine can get them at cost, so I saved a few bucks under retail.

Reptiles Basics carries them as well. They pre-wire them for you also including the cables and a power strip. Well worth it if you don't have a whole lot of experience with wiring. If you aren't totally comfortable with wiring things together, so that's the route I'd go. Otherwise, there are directions included that are pretty straightforward.

Rap, just a little friendly pay back. you dissed George. ;)

From the picture it looks like there is no separation between the bottom of the tub and the flexwatt. Do you get a proper temperature gradient? (specially with paper as substrate)

There are recesses in the shelves that the flexwatt fits in, so there is actually an empty gap between the tub and the flexwatt... I acutally have to keep the flexwatt a little above 94 to get it to reach 94 in the tub.

Thanks again... I got my Helix from RB, and I would jump at giving Rich my money again, so I will go that route.

Uh, did you put any ventilation holes in the boaphile tubs?
