    New enclosure....
    Just placed a order for a 6+2+1½ cage made of birch plywood with fiberglass resin coating...
    What can I put in it as well the hide boxes to create privacy and sercurity for my retic. I have 4ft female that is in a 41qt now was going to put her in a 4ft+2+1½ enclosure but rethinking that why move her into a 4 ft cage then move her again in 3-4 months because I'll have another snake ready for a bigger enclosure....

    I use plastic restaurant bus tubs as hides for my adult boas and juvenile retics. My husband has a machine shop so he just cuts an access hole into one edge/side.

    I used a skyhide until Gene out grew it. He loved it! Reminds me I need to order a larger one. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7ad9946dce.jpg

    Wonder if a 41 qt tub to 6 ft enclosure is too much... People have said a 4 ft is ok...

    Anything like those will be destroyed by a retic. I keep it simple. Caesar gets 2 RBI jumbo hides and a big water bowl.

    And you are underestimating the boldness of a retic. They arent a pet rock aka BP. I started Caesar off in a 4x2 cage when he was 5 months old and 2 feet. Then i moved him into his 6x3 cage when he was about 4-5 feet. And i might possibly be moving him into a 8x3 cage this summer if he continues to grow lol.

    I'll give the 6footer a shot.. going to be about 3 weeks out by then she'll get bigger.lol..
    Figure why move her twice especially when my Golden child will be ready to go into the 4ft around the same time.
