Let's see your amazing BP enclosures!

I'm trying to think of ideas for my BP's tank, and I want to make it more than just a basic cage. Post some pictures of your guys most extravagent BP enclosures!

Mine isn't quite as extravagant as I want it to be yet, I'm adding more things in when I next go down to the reptile store. However, I did a quick Google search and found two very nice enclosures.

I don't know if it counts as extravagant but my BPs new home since last week. I imagine I'll tweak things in time. He seems to like it and the pro products RHP. His activity levels have increased since moving him from a 24x24 to a 48x24x16

That first picture is a lot what I want mine to look like. Thanks for the pics!

I went crazy with this one!! Lol my ball python enclosures are boring but once I get something arboreal I would love to have a nice display enclosure like the ones posted

Sigh you children.... All the plants are fake and cost me about $6 at local thrift shops. They are your friend for fake plants. My 4ft lady would crush real ones... Buy,chop, decorate! Be careful to melt a dot of candle wax on any exposed wires from fake plants!!!! Stump and hides, petsmart.

40g exo t breeder. Made my own top for it due to humidity issues.

Tada!

I love the look of those fancy display tanks but the must be a real pain to keep clean and sanitary. I like to keep things simple and clean so all my ball pythons are in dark tubs in a rack with just substrate and a water bowl.

Forgot to mention moss is also real. From the woods. I think i read a sticky here on sanitizing a while back. I also use a uvb light for my lady. While not all do this i will save the debate by saying yes i have noticed better colors, out more ofter(explores basks and such) a constant regular feeding pattern and so on. I believe it made a difference in mine anyways

While i can edit: its not too bad to keep clean. Home made bioactive recipe from joshfrogs.com

That stuff made the plants in my firebelly toad viv grow like mad

Not too bad. Pick up large feces, mix soil. Shes a wanderer so the substrate compacted fairly nice. But yes. The weekly plant wash and glass wipe while shes in her feeding tub

Nothing fancy, just started this one up so there's a lot missing I would like to add but yeah I went crazy on the sphagnum moss as its really hard to keep humidity in this tanks, specially exo terra's as they have those front ventilation holes. Substrate is also mixed Eco Earth and Cypress Mulch for more humidity again.

Really liking the stump in your eclosure.
A question though, those bedding of moss on or near the log, do they cause mold on the log?
wondering because I would prefer to use that type instead of springkling sphagnum moss everywhere, too messy.

If you don't keep up with cleaning yes. Whenever I feed her we scrub the tank plants and hides all down with hot water no soaps they leave a bad residue that will make your snake sick. The moss simply needs a water mist from time to time. If you feel nervous about your wood, bake it in your over at 200-250 for about 15-20 minutes. Then let it cool before putting it back in. Sometimes a leave a hide a little warm and she loves it because the feeding tub is cold. We wipe out glass with zoomed wipeout2. Sanitizes, cleans, and kills parasites as well. Use bottled, filtered types of water when you spray/humidify your tank to prevent ugly splotches on the glass. Also its better for the snake. Sorry i could prattle on forever...

Ps check your local petsmart for the stump. I think its in the aquarium decor or the natgeo section of the herp suplies

Btw the only thing that has tried to develop any mold is the cheapie wood hide. Even then that took quite a while

Here's mine. The Animal Plastics enclosures heated by RHPs and controlled by two Herpstat 4s.

The camera makes him look much duller than he actually is. He's actually really bright yellow, so far no browning :)

I really like the Animal plastics setup Mr Misha has, seems good for both a nice display and housing a variety of snakes.

Shiva was out and about last night and decided to strike a pose. This has been her home for 3 years now. The lid... a slip over heavy mesh lid from any pet store. A 1x2 and a few pieces of spare laminite flooring. Cut the holes with a dremel. http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/...ps27862366.jpg

Thank you! I love AP enclosures. My BPs usually come out during the night so I don't stare at bowls and hides all night.

Hey, I may need to chat with you about the AP cages and using the RHP's.

I just got word that Ed Lilley Pro-Line/Constrictors NW has decided to get out of the cage business and pursue other endeavors.

I'm looking at the AP T-12 48" x 24" x 24" for my coastal carpet in the future. What type of RHP are you using?

Sorry, semi hijacked the thread but I like your cages and I use RHPs so you're a good resource.
