    The BIG MOMENT! Powder moves to her new 4x2x1! PICTURES INCLUDED
    Hey everybody :) well, today was the day. I picked up two fake plants and some cypress bedding, wired up the flexwatt, put it on my Herpstat and ZING you get this:

    I think it turned out well :)

    Can you see Powder in this cage? try to find her :banana:

    Ive been waiting to do this for at least a month, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I couldn't be happier with how things turned out

    Big shout out to Chris at Mrherp! Hes a Canadian reptile supplies distributor and he is the reason this cage was possible. He did me a BIG favor and I cant thank him enough!

    Thanks for looking!

    LOL! Thanks!

    Yeah I found that blanket (from when I was LITTLE :O) and.. I needed to trap some of the heat from the flexwatt so, there it went :)

    Thanks everybody!

    Thank you!

    and yes, she enjoys it so much infact that she was comfortable enough to eat a nice big 70 gram rat about 30 - 45 minutes after she got in it :)

    Thank you :) I am very happy that this cage will last her for a few years, and someday.. she will be big like your girl!

    I am convinced she is going to be a giant, her growth and weight gain is CRAZY.. off the scale crazy (I do not power feed her, I use to feed her 40 - 50 gram rats, but today I fed her a 70 gram rat and thats the size she will be on now) keep in mind she weighs over 600 grams (last time I weighed her at the start of June she was 556.. im betting shes well over 600 grams now)

    I also measured her length at the start of June, it was 3 ft 6 - 7 inches. and she is only 10 - 11 months old!!!

    So, im hoping that some day she will be over 9 ft, 10 - 11 foot would be a dream come true :)

    Thanks! Yeah she has really settled in nicely! She hasn't shown ANY signs of stress at all, no roaming no trying to escape nothing. she is hiding (althought in a plant) and.. temps are PERFECT! constant 90 - 91F hot side and 80 - 82 cool side, perfect humidity.

    She must be in heaven :)

    Thanks again! and soon, I will be doing a feeding video of her in her new home... so you guys can get a sense of how big she really is, and not to mention how pretty :) so that should be up soon

    Yep, they are two caves, I know they are very well camoflauged :) that was the goal.

    but you can see them with the plants hanging on them, if you look good :)

    Thats a nice looking cage, and great job with the furnishings. I bet she will love the cypress bedding. I must say, the Sponge Bob sheet really sets it off. :rofl:
