    Four days after feeding and already pooped. Usually she at least makes it to day 5. I swear, keeping two retics is like taking care of a dozen of any other snake species

    Dude,

    That sucks. I just don't have those issues. I may get a little more waste, but not a lot.

    Wallace can be a bit pitchy in the cage, but he's a pretty good captive I must say.

    Lol, Caesar pooped out the huge guinea pig i gave him on friday, last night. He went 5 days on that monster food. But my god, the size of turd i found last night rivels mine lol. Picking it up with a paper towel was like picking up a medium rats haha. And Caesar usually makes it to about day 4-5 before a poop as well. Pat is the same way. In one end and out the other in about 4 days. I think it's just pythons except for BPs lol.

    Installed perches for queen push face today. So far she seems to enjoy them. Might reinstall them an inch lower at some point when I go back to using the RHP in colder months but for now it seems to be keeping her distracted from pushing hopefully. She was going at it pretty forcefully earlier

    LOVE IT!!!

    Well done!

    I think you are on the right track.

    I know for a fact these retics, young and old are a lot more arboreal than they are said to be by some folks.

    She looks rather pleased there JM!

    Display snake city!

    I'm entertained just by looking at that!

    Thanks brother! Right after this she went right back to pushing at the doors though... [emoji37]🤬🤬🤬[emoji216][emoji216]
    She played on them for a good 30 minutes at least. I emailed Ed at constrictors nw to ask about a cage but haven’t gotten a response. How quick is he to respond? Also emailed AP about a similar design. Basically want the height and width of your cage at 8’ long, also modular. Whoever quotes me the better deal gets this cage order haha. Kinda want AP just so everything matches but it depends on how close they can design/cut it to my specifications.
    Either way I may go with swinging doors instead of sliding. Curious to see if eliminating the air gap between the sliding doors for Phyllis changes where or how she pushes. Since the acrylic doors with fit flush inside a recessed cage front my theory is that she would at lest push elsewhere? I think she pushes on the right side of the car post currently is because she can get the best face wrecking leverage from that spot [emoji31]

    I thought Ed closed his cage store and doesn't do it any longer?

    Man she's so cool and those perches look awesome!! Are they just dowels on some kind of bracket or closet hardware? I would really like to do something similar

    That’s what i thought too, but Gio got a cage from him not that long ago? Maybe because Gio is an established customer. 🤷:cens0r:♂️
