    I just got a second BP today. His patterns say normal, but he is very dark in color but with a bright belly. I'm letting him settle before I handle and get pics. But soon I'll be building a second cage for this snake and I have learnt soo much about building cages that mistakes will not be as plentiful as when building the first enclosure.

    And flexwatt is perfect. I don't know where people get the fire stories from, but I'm hooked up to a rheostat (temps reading 91ish) and the vent holes beneath stop a dangerous buildup of heat. Wood needs to reach 400ish degrees before it'll ignite.

    If you can find a 120 to 12 transformer (radio shack) autozone would be a good place to get the LEDs so long as you don't mind a little wire splicing.
