Just don't want a super dimly lit huge cage.
    Also to the OP, that is one hell of a nice looking snake. I really dig the fused/connected saddles along her back!

    Thank you she is a gorgeous little bugger 😄 I like the idea of the LEDs in the cage to light it up. It looks beautiful

    Man I have no idea what model numbers I have. I got 3 cheap $20 + units from Amazon for the cages on hand. Then I had AP groove the last two units at 10mm. Then dummy me forgot to order more LEDs.

    My cages showed up one week after having had 4 surgeries on my dominant arm and hand. So I had to hire a helper to help build. Turned out he was not much help and he bailed on me before finishing the T 25 and never started the A25. So I finished on my own with one arm.

    The reason for the long story; since I supposedly had help I needed LEDs immediately, so I went to Loews and spent $100 for two sets which would not fit in the groove because the light strip is encased in a plastic housing. So much for grooving. :)

    Lesson to all, do a better job at preplanning and order more affordable and the correct size lighting ahead of time. :)

    And yeah i picked up a Herpstat 6 a few weeks ago. Sold my Herpstats 2 normal and redline and my Herpstat 1 normal. Thinking of picking up a Herpstat 4 or another 6 later as I'll have 9 cages but only 7 snakes :)

    Been also trying to sell my Pro-Line cage 4x2 with Pro Products RHP for $130 and for the love of me, I'm not getting any bites. Everyone wants AP cages haha.

    Nice looking AP arboreal cage.

    Thanks

    Yeah those Herpstats sure add up. I have 5; one 6, one 4, and three 2s.

    I am really surprised that your plastic cage hasn't sold. In my area it is very rare to find a 4 or 6 foot plastic cage on CL. Every now and then a 2 or 3 footer will show up.

    Maybe you can do a Dutch auction where you drop the price $10 a day until it sells? Those sure are fun!

    Lol screw that. I mean i dont 'NEED' to sell it. Just trying to offset the $2000 bill of the other cages lol. I sold all my other Herpstats except my Herpstat 1 Redline which i need for Luna's cage until i figure out if i want another Herpstat 6 or a Herpstat 4. Then i can work on filling the 2 extra T8s I'll have mwhahaha. Come to papa little female Pucallpa or Iquitos Peruvian and SD ultra ivory retic or sharp snowglow bci :D

    Little update on Nagini, she's still not eating on her own, so today after some advice she has been force fed 😔 hopefully she starts to eat on her own soon.

    Force fed or assist fed? They are different.

    I guess kind of assist, the hopper mouse was pushed down into her throat a bit where after some fighting it she did swallow on her own. She was fed two hoppers in this way and this is the only meal she's had with me since I got her.
