    Thanks. She was in an AP T10 with a shelf but I poached the cage for my retic so i'll have to order her a new one as she misses her shelf lol. Right now she is in my extra Constrictors NW HDPE 48x23x14 cage.

    Lol thanks. Yeah she is full of attitude too. She loves to come out and explore everywhere. And sometimes if you pet her as she goes by, she will hiss at you lol. Don't stop or tense up or anything, just does drive by hissings hahaha. She's pretty hilarious.

    How old is she? Probably her attitude will change after you breed her. Lol.:D

    She's about 2.5 years old. And yeah maybe but I'm not diving into the breeding sector anytime soon so she will have to keep the attitude haha.

    Thanks. Yeah I need to order her the next size up hides from RBI. She still fits in her large ones now but kind of tight lol. Usually a part of her pokes out somewhere. Actually she had a bigger cage. She's in my Constrictors NW cage now. She used to be a T10 with a shelf which she loved but I poached the cage for my retic haha. I'll give it back to her as soon as I get my retic his T25.

    Thanks. Hard to believe she was a little 90g 12 inch worm when I got her. Now at last weigh in, she was 1680g but she has shed since then so she probably weighs more now haha.

    She is stunning ! I myself am a huge fan of high white pieds. I absolutely love everything about them. Even to this day my high white male pied still makes my jaw drop and just get so googly eyed over him. She is a beautiful girl you have there. Keep those updates coming.

    Thanks. That's actually her old set up kind of. The cage is my old Constrictors NW. She will get her AP T10 with shelf back once I get Rosey her AP T25. Also I quit using aspen. I use Reptichips now. She still has the same hides but I think I need to upsize them as she has big and fat and usually some part of her pokes out of the hide somewhere lol.

    Well, Dottie out grew her hides so I figured time for new ones. I ordered up the jumbo RBI ones and let me tell you, they are called jumbo for a reason lol. My 7' boa fits in one comfortably. I tried them for her and she didn't seem to like them. So I ended up stealing the 2 homemade ones I made for the boas from dish soaking tubs and giving those to Dottie and then gave a jumbo each to Vicky, Rosey and Caesar. Saving the 4th one for Rango when he gets big enough. Anyways, looks like these got Dottie's tail of approval as she has checked them out. She tested them for the perch up top and look over. Check! Then she made a round around them. Check! An now she is relaxing inside the cool one. She's in blue atm. She has grown too. She is now almost 5' and like 1809g. I remember when she was just the little 12" 90g worm, how they grow so quick /tear :)

    She's too big for the RBI large hides? That's what I have for my 1700g female and there's still plenty of room for her. But she's only 4', so maybe the extra length makes the difference?

    When I first got her, she was around 1200g and I made the mistake of buying the medium hides. She used them, but it was hilarious because it was basically her curled up with the hide sitting on top of her.

    She's gorgeous btw.

    Well used to have her in a T10 with a shelf and she loved climbing that. I poached it for my retic though. I got 2 T8s which should be shipping this week or next with shelves and all the bells and whistles. I'll give one to Dottie and one to Rango. Then I got to order Luna one and a stand for them too.

    Thanks and yup, most of the time, about a 1/3 of her hangs out from under the hide. I mean she can still squish into it but it was pretty clear she needed new hides lol.

    Nah it's Eco Earth. I would go broke using that Herptopia stuff. Way too expensive. Can get the triple blocks of Eco Earth from Chewy. com for like $5 each. And one triple brick is enough to do one of my 4x2 cages. And with 6 of them, I need 6 of those triple bricks which is like $30. If I used Herptopia, that stuff I believe was $30 for a 24qt bag. I would need 6 of those so it would run me $180 a month for just substrate. Not to mention feeding everyone is already about $100 a month as I haven't gotten around to buying a small chest freezer and ordering food online :(
