(hopefully) :) And i'm probably planning on going through Jimis snakes for my boa :D

....and you'll have a cage, set-up and snake very similar to mine!! :D

My little one from Jimi will not use a hide; she prefers to hang out on her branch or on her big cork bark thing. I offer hides to all my snakes but my boas just are not interested. I also offer an aspen area in each cage but I have only one boa who really likes to dig and burrow in it. I have fake foliage in all my cages and it looks nice!

The awesome thing about these cages and the set-up is when the boas out-grow their cages (two of mine are yearlings and will outgrow them in another 6 months or so I'm guessing) two of my larger ball pythons can get out of their tubs and have a larger environment for their nighttime cruising adventures :gj:

Isn't it fun getting all of the supplies and plans together? Every step is a learning process and I love it all!! Be sure to read Rich's FAQ on RHP's. It's filled with great information! If you still have questions, shoot him an email or give him a call and he'll be able to answer them for you. Rich is a terrific guy and he tries really hard to please his customers :D

Ha, yeah..I have the money, it's just the time to order everything. With college, work, and a misc. other few things in my day, its hard to fit time to do anything right now lol. But I will talk to Jimi soon and get me a boa, but before that happens I gotta get on the ball and get all the husbandry stuff ordered and set up, then i'll order my boa lol :) :snake:

And i'm definitely going to make a point to talk to Rich if I have any more questions regarding my new and upcoming setup (and very similar to yours indeed starmom haha ::D) And thanks again guys for answering most of my questions. :gj:
