Halloween theme Enclosure

Aye! I did some decorating today (I know that it's a little early, but oh well!). Enjoy.

I don't have much to say other than wow..

Soooo, it's lovely and all that you decorated for the season... but maybe instead of buying festive decorations you should put your money to better use... like, oh, I don't know... buying a proper setup? Just a thought ;)

We already had all this stuff so I was at no loss. Btw; have to have a pay check to buy a proper setup, right? Boaphile 421D is on the way already. I'll update all of you once it gets here. That's the only thing I need for her setup to be proper.

Pretty sure that's not what she meant....

Aaaand, what the heck is she living in, a drawer?? As for having a paycheck, yep, you should have one of those and a proper enclosure BEFORE you take on the responsibility of an animal.

Let's say I want a GTP, but I start out with a Ball (of scales) Python. Once I actually get my favorite/example snake, which I'm using a Green Tree for my example, I'll totally forget about my Ball Python. It'll just be looked at as a burden at that point. I think people should get what they want (after a lot of research and they have EVERYTHING ready).

You are the biggest hypocrite in the entire forum!

1) You hate ball pythons, but you want to know how to breed them.
2) One of your first post ever on the forum bashes noobs for not caring for their snakes correctly.
3) You told people that they should get whatever snake they want as long as they have done the research and have everything ready.

You are a noob! You are a noob not caring for your boa (and probably your other snakes) properly! Take off the blinders and rose colored glasses.
You have not done all of your research, if ANY. It is very clear by the posts you write and the pictures you post. And lastly, you do not have EVERYTHING ready. If you do not have the proper enclosures set up, do not get the animal(s) before hand! You're telling people that it is not responsible. You bet that it is not responsible! And guess what? You just did it!

So. The Thermostats?????
And what about your BP?
Another example of not having "everything ready" as you so put it.....

My 9 year old does more research on animals she's interested in than this guy.

I've heard if roasted snake, but chilled I have not.

Yeah I was gonna stay out of this one.. but.. "hey everybody." :popcorn:

OK. I apologize for sounding snooty.

It just got to me how you were trying to preach to the forum how there are so many ill prepared newbies and that's why snakes suffer, while you were doing the same yourself.

Next time you get an animal, just get your stuff together and prepared beforehand. If you can't afford or prepare for it, don't get the animal. Just save up. Making your animals sick or stressed from an improper enclosure will cost a whole lot more in vet bills. Its unnecessary and preventable.

Good luck.

I don't know much of the history with the original poster but maybe instead of jumping all over him right away suggestions can be made on how to correct what is currently being used? When looking closely you can see the pre-punched holes in the side which is typical of melamine planks bought at home depot and such. I would guess self built. Since I use a self built rack system (made from melamine) the top of every one of my enclosures is melamine. It appears to have a hinged lid made of either glass or something else. If it's glass or acrylic I would suggest Lexan. Using a lid like this would be much better humidity control then the screen top many new owners use. With there being two hides my guess is there is two regulated temperature zones. Now if it is Lexan and there is temperature control I only see two problems. The first being the light which my guess is it may only be turned on for viewing if that's the case it would be a non-issue. Second would be the cloth inside which I would think a snake can get tangled in. So with all that I'll make suggestions.

1) Remove the cloth so the snake wouldn't get tangled.
2) Remove the light especially if its meant as a heat source. Lexan for the top is user friendly to work with you can get a sheet cut to size and cut a hole inside. Then install a screen to allow heat inside.

Lastly it seems you may be having fun and enjoying your snakes so I would say to continue to do so.

With every new thread this kid posts, I'm beginning to believe that he\she is the greatest troll ever!

I had a custom rack built for her but it turned out a little small. Some people don't even try. I fixed this error, and you clearly read that I bought a BoaPhile enclosure. Therefore, there's no reason to continue this discussion

The bulb is a UVB just so I can see in there sometimes, and it also helps when I'm trying to clean (I just recently covered the light and the wiring with a clear plastic container and screwed it in to avoid the snake climbing on it and getting hurt or anything). I am using a UTH and a HydroFarm Thermo to heat and regulate heat. I originally had a rack built but it's not big enough for her. That's why I have her in there until my BoaPhile 421D comes.
The only thing I need to change is the cloth. I guess I didn't consider her getting tangled *facepalm* thanks!

Sorry, everyone. I should have explained that I originally had a setup that I thought would work (the rack I mentioned) however, it was made too small, and I bought a BoaPhile 421D, so.. Until I het that, she has to stay somewhere, and this is that somewhere. I know that this enclosure is obsolete, and unfit for her. I'll post pictures of her new BoaPhile once it gets here! Last night I got an email saying (for some stupid reason) that my payment didn't go through, so my 421D hasn't been shipped yet :( hopefully I'll get it next week, tops.

No! (Idk why everyone thinks that? Maybe it's the bookshelf behind the enclosure you're seeing that makes it look like a drawer). It was an entertainment center that we ghetto-fied to keep her in until her actual enclosure arrives.

I'll admit that I was a hypocrite. I should have made sure that my rack was big enough before I got the snake. That was my fault 100%. And I can't be curious about breeding snakes? I have asked how to breed Boas, Corn Snakes, etc, too. That doesn't make me a hypocrite. And as for the "thermostats" and my Ball Python... You're speaking about something that you know nothing about. Me and the member whom posted that have not exactly got along on other forums, and apparently she had nothing better to do besides start issues. I am more than willing to post pictures/videos of my setup (dating back months ago, showing that my BP's setup is perfect). She has nothing to do with her own life, so she's rude to others on Reptile forums for any random reason. That's why I kindly replied to her and put her on my ignore list. If you had known me when I had gotten my Ball Python, I'd be fine with your post, and I know you apologized but I appreciate that, but I'm still posting this. I don't think it was fair of you to brought that up like I was in the wrong. I was in the wrong about not making sure the rack was the right size, but it was an honest mistake and I've fixed it.

Wow... I just realized that you actually took the time to cut out that I said that I have a Boaphile 421D on the way!! You seem like a really nice person to associate with! That's sarcasm... Kind of like my reply to Bobbafet. Let this thread go in whichever direction it may, along with my little reputation points, I'm done with it... but I'm still just baffled that you would cut out me saying that I purchased an enclosure for my snake, therefore fixing my mistake, just to bash on me... Essentially just trying to make me out to be a bad person who is not caring for their animal...

Lol.

Most of the members on this forum are really nice to talk with, they're proving a point as you're calling people out for their mistakes when you have the same cramp going on with your snakes... Doolittle is infact an awesome person to talk with.. And for Bobbafett she is awesome aswell... You're in the wrong here for calling other out and when you get called out you get mad at them...

I like most the members here and I never said I had anything against Bobbafet. I am also not mad at all, neither am I in the wrong. I'm fixing the unforeseen mistake I made, so I am actually not too worried about it. DooLittle purposely deleted and ignored the fact that I fixed the problem, just so she/he could get on my case. That's not cool at all. This analogy should help explain where I'm coming from on this:
If I brake my computer but I fix it, and then you get mad because I broke it even though I fixed it already, does it make sense to yell at me for braking it in the first place? Plus... When I brought her home she was in a horrible shed, really wheezy, and displayed a lot of signs of an RI. After her first week here she had completed her shed, hardly wheezes, and shows no sign of an RI (vet also confirmed that she doesn't have an RI). So... I don't think her temporary home is too terrible for her. It's definitely not as bad as where she was living before. I didn't see her previous living conditions but she came here with a lot of issues.

I'm in no way trying to derail the thread, but just of quick glancing I will say this:

I'll give this thread about another few hours, a day at max before it gets closed. Please people I know stuff can be frustrating but lets try to keep it calm because most of what's being said has already been said and I don't want any of my friends on here to get infractions.
