    Adopting my first show me your setups!
    We are adopting our first red tail from a reputable herp rescue but we are going to custom build his enclosure so I can make sure the husbandry is spot on. He is 6 feet and about 4 1/2 years old. Show me yours! When ours is done I'll show you mine!

    The bottom T13 is for one of our juvenile boas. Radiant heat panel for the heat source.

    All set up. There are lights in the back, more to help me clean than for the boa, and a shelf as well.

    T13? I know pretty much nothing because all of my setups are displays. I can appreciate racks, tubs, etc. but I don't breed or have a lot of snakes.

    Those are Animal Plastics PVC enclosures. Really great for reptiles that have humidity requirements. T13 is the size, it's 4ft x 2.5ft x 18 inches I believe. I'm not big on racks or tubs either.

    If you go for an AP cage, make sure to get the shelf option. All my snakes love their shelves. I'm using 3 T10s and 1 Constrictor NW cage. But will be changing up my 2 boas and retic to T25s later.

    I use flexwatt for all of them except the Pro-Line cage which is a RHP which i'd rather have flexwatt on that too.

    And using a Herpstat 2 Redline on one of the cages and Herpstat 2 normal on the other as well as 2 more Herpstats on some other stuff.

    And you can see Rosey, my 6.5' girl wanting to get in on the photo too lol.

    They are beautiful! Ours is a normal BCC from what I understand. We don't have him yet but have our adoption deposit on him. He is coming from a great rescue. I don't breed so I don't pay much attention to the genetics but I want to learn, there is just SO MUCH TO LEARN! lol

    Where do you guys all get your big snake supplies? Like her water bowl for instance? I was going to just put in a "pond" but I wasn't sure how to go about that. My husband wants to custom build his setup. He knows nothing about snakes other than I love them all and I want more.

    You sure that's a BCC? Hard to see the tail but it looks BCI to me. And he definitely looks angry lol. And that looks like a Vision cage. I'm guessing you aren't getting the cage with the snake?

    No? Lol that's what someone (new to the rescue) told me, either way he's cute in spite of the rat bite scar. He is supposedly very docile, and genuinely sweet. I have not even met him yet though because he is 3 hours from us.

    Ah. He does look pretty cool though. So dark colored. Poor guy with the rat bite. Don't feed him live!!! :) Everyone here gets F/T. I don't want to chance any of my scaly kids getting hurt :)

    I only feed f/t as well. The rescue got him because he had been bitten; and the owner didn't have an exotics vet, so they took him in and took over his medical care. My 7 year old is planning to be a Herpetology Professor when he grows up, so this will be our 3rd snake to add to our reptile room. My kid got lucky that I love all animals and have the time and patience to put into all of our pets. We currently have a juvenile ball python (I think she's a normal?) A corn snake, and we are custom building so we can get Mick, we also have an iguana, leopard geckos (3), crested geckos(2), 2 bearded dragons, a blue tongue skink, 4 aquatic turtles (3 RES, 1 YBS), a russian tortoise, 2 tree frogs and a pacman frog

    Holy cow, that's a lot of mouths to feed lol. And I thought I had a lot of work cleaning up after 6 snakes and a beardie lol. And yeah, vets aren't cheap. My advice is find a good vet before you need it. Time for me to run as I got to get some errands done before we get the snow we are supposed to get her tonight :(

    We also have a flock of chickens, a duck, 12 cats, e rabbits and 5 dogs bahahahaha. I have a wonderful vet that sees all of them. They are a 4 vet mixed practice. I kid you not I could ride an elephant there and they would ask me nothing other than, what are we seeing Dumbo for today?
