Enclosure is way too big

I purchased a PVC enclosure for Ginger and it is waaaay to big. It measures 48x23x23. Any idea on how to make it feel homey for Ginger? I can't return it. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...b5a04dde5e.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c79542be26.jpg

Multiple Hides, lots of big fake plants, or put a big bin in there to take up some space maybe.

Add a bunch of stuff to clutter it up. More rocks, branches, hides, plants, etc. That way she'll feel safer and the vast expanse won't intimidate her ;).

I like that cage! Where did you get it?

That's beautiful!

Ed Lilley from constrictorsnw.com. I have to get heat tape and LOTS of decorations. I might try a "mini terrarium" with succulents and other live plants.

I wonder if it's possible to make a shelf or "climbing wall."

I have a Ball Python in an enclosure that's even bigger than that, and he is just fine. He has been in it since 1 week after he hatched! The bkey is just to provide a lot of hiding spots, deep substrate so they can hide under it if they need to and the correct husbandry.

Get a second smaller enclosure to put on top.

Get a male boa for the bottom one.

Yes I am an enabler. :D

So much this. Or a Savu python, or one of the dark boas...

Ok people, no boas here..... We're content with just Ginger

Haha we are all enablers here. Anyways, vines plants hides, clutter clutter clutter!

And off topic, but is that a bird cage I see? I wanna see what's in it!

LOL! I had heard of the snake keeper who was content with just one, I just never believed it!

as others have said, you need lots of clutter. also, a large shelf or stool that takes up a good chunk of the cage would be good. Ginger can have herself a split level.

Hmm... We need reinz to show us his stool again. So cute lol.

The Beak of Death rules the house http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...ff381e7f34.jpg

Haha I love it. Pretty Doombeak.

And yup I know what you mean I had a parrot bite that broke my finger. Gotta love trying to get the beak open without any more blood sacrifice!
