Sad part is I will need 4 T25s. One for Caesar, Rosey, Vicky and Gina. Rango can probably get away with a T10 as he is a male and Luna, I'm not sure when/if she will need one. And Dottie should be fine in a T8 or T10. I'll probably end with 4 T25s next to the 3 T10s and the T8s I will just keep as back up cages or possibly get some dwarf boas like a Pearl Island, Hog Island and Cay Caulker lol.

And thanks. Caesar has grown a ton. He'll be 11 months old in 13 days.

I had a GREAT experience with Second City Constrictors - TJ Blevins - with my Caulks Cay - she's a beauty, eats well, and mild mannered. Not to mention from the Russo/Rentfro line as well.

Name sounds familiar. If I did get one though, it wouldn't be for a very long time haha. I need to save up for 4 T25s lol.

JUST 4? LMAO

Also noticed my typo - Caulkers Cay but you knew that anyway. From conversations with TJ he also breeds other boas and I'll be hanging with him in June while in Chicago. He did mention Russo Surinames as a possibility.

Well I'm hoping just 4 as they cost me like $765 loaded with shipping. So 4 of them would close to $3k. It would be for Rosey, Vicky, Caesar and Gina. Rango being a male should be ok in a T10 and Dottie will be fine in a T10 and I'm hoping Luna will be fine in a T10 too.

I was planning on a Russo Pucallpa Peruvian but saw the Rio Bravo Poki Suri female and couldn't pass her up especially at her price. Someone I talked to was asking about pure Poki Suris and I as well as a bunch of other people referred them to Chris Wolf as he is one of the few that breed 100% pure Rio Bravo Poki Suris and I guess the price went up to $1k each now for his next litter due this summer. or at least that's what the guy said. Kind of explains though why the batch he just sold with my girl sold out in an hour lol.

With today's USARK development you'll need to work some obvertime. LOL

Alright, I got my shipment of Plant IT stuff and got it in the big boas and retic cage. The stuff honestly looks pretty close to ReptiChips. Only differences I can see is that its lighter in color than ReptiChips and it seems to be less uniform in shape and size but overall, the stuff seems pretty much the same and half the price.

How is it on odor reduction? Reptichip seems to have upped their price a tad...

please keep us posted on how you like the substrate

Looks great.

I use a combo of that or close to it with Ecoearth mixed in or Ecoearth and cypress sometimes I use all 3 with some moss.

I don't change out substrate too often. I spot clean and most of the snake waste is fairly benign if you miss a spot or two it dries and degrades into the substrate.

It is actually good to have a certain amount of bacteria in the cage. It is healthy for the snake and the ecosystem within the cage.

A pure, and completely sterilized environment doesn't let your animal develop or build up any natural immunities.

NOTE there is a fine line between some healthy, natural cage bacteria and a dripping wet, mold ridden cage.

I typically do total substrate changes twice a year. Most of my animals either don't eat in the winter at all or slow down a great deal.

Hopefully nobody is spending too much $$ changing this stuff out too frequently.

The cages look really nice man.
