Re: Lets see your redtail babies setups
Yea baby RTBs! :D
Here are mine in 28qt tubs with a mixture of mostly Aspen with a bit of Cypress Mulch till they grow up some, they are about 10 months old.

She is not usually using her hide, but I though this was a cute pic :P

Hypo het Sharp Albino Male. He loves chillin on his log, if he is not cruising around, he is on top of it, but never actually in it.

Re: Lets see your redtail babies setups
This is about the only pic I have from when she was smaller that shows almost her entire enclosure. This was the day we got her I believe...

Wow, she has really gotten bigger since that pic. Of course the shoe box isn't there anymore, I now use a small cat litter pan and when she goes to the cool side she doesn't use a hide, so I got rid of the one I had over there. Water bowl is now in the middle with heat tape under it to up the humidity and foil tape over the top. Another shed and I'll probably order that boaphile.

I believe it is called the "Ball-boa" and it's name is Rocky... :rofl:
Here is my 32qt tub set-up, and one of them will be moving to a bigger tub this weekend, as soon as I decide whether to give him another 6" tall tub or go ahead and set up a 12" tall for a little more perching room...

Re: Lets see your redtail babies setups
Where do you buy your accurites? I can only find the ugly and block like ones at Home Depot. I havent had any luck in Walmart.

I've got 2 Wal-Marts in my area. 1 carries them and 1 doesn't. At Lowes I find them in the outdoor section as well. Where they have all of the patio furniture, plants, grills, etc...

Just to clear things up, I was talking about that particular model, it's nice and flat, something that you can stick to the tub. The ones I always find are those "rectangle pyramid" looking ones. :rage:
I always look in the garden section at Home Depot or Walmart. I haven't seen any at Walmart. Home Depot carriers those big bulky ones... I will have to look in Lowes one day. Thanks.
What would be the next step up from a 28/32qt tub for a RTB? a taller tub or something more flat? Any sugestions please? :)

I'm debating that right now. I have 2 options. The first is a 50qt tub that measures 32"L X 19"W X 7"T. And the other is a 105qt that measures 32"L X 19"W X 13"T. I'm going to set-up the 105 tonight and if I mess it up I can always use the 50. The main thing I am debating on is where to put the holes. So far I'm thinking 1 row near the bottom and 1 row near the top. Then I'll have to let the tub run for a few days to see how the temps and humidity are going to hold. I'll take pics and let you know the results.
The AcuRites don't come with adhesive backing. I used Velcro. I've also got one being held on with a small bolt and nuts and the AcuRite just basically hangs on it like it would if you hung it on a wall. And it's actually easier to remove the AcuRite for cleaning than the velcro ones, and I've got pics of how I did that as well, so if anyone wants to see how I did it, let me know, and I'll post up the pics...

I would really like to see how you did that! I've been trying to figure out what to do with mine [standing, they are not very sturdy]. And also what to do with all of the excess chord wire for the probe.

what do you mean by "the ugly and block like ones", these are the units i use from walmart and homedepot. i kind of stopped using the unit with the probe being as though the wire starts to strip and become exposed so i just started using the smaller squared unit which measures humidity and ambient air, then i just use a temp gun to measure basking spots.

from my understanding those big blocky bottom units are the replacement models for that slender unit with the flip-out stand. look in my post you can see they are the same model which is 00891. so im assuming its the replacement model.

Re: Lets see your redtail babies setups
Thanks very much for the pics!
I guess I wont be seeing that "make" anymore then. :oops:

Re: Lets see your redtail babies setups
My baby(2009's) boas are in 12"x24" enclosures sold by LLLReptiles. These enclosures have screen tops that I covered mostly with 1/8" plexiglass from home depot. Not really the best enclosures for climbing but they look nice. I spray painted the outside of the back glass with black spray paint. Boaphile cages are waiting for when the babies get bigger. Boas GROW!

Lol I did recognize the names, my Ex at the time made me watch that movie nnot once, not twice, but 3 times!!! But I didn't like it that much. I like movies like interview with the Vampire much better. :D
Anyways... It was because it does look like a coffin at first sigh lol. Make some arrangements, paint the wall a dark color... Blood sucking RTBs!!
