    need some oppinions(pics)
    ok, i have some pics and i want too know 1, if zulu's cage/hides are secure enough for him and 2, if my BPs look nice and healthy. so here's the pics:

    i thought the color difference between the two when i took this pic was cool. i'm thinkin its because vanessa is younger then zulu.

    They look great. The hides are perfect.. maybe put one in the middle since that's a big cage?

    actually because of the way the vents are it has the perfect thermal gradient. i forgot to add that me and my dad built that cage too. we did a good job, huh?

    Yes it's a very cool cage.

    I meant add a third hide just to make it more secure feeling for the snake.. but if he eats well and all, there's probably no need.

    well thats the thing. he hasnt been eating! uh oh, do you think i should put the shelf for it in. its a like 3-4 inch high shelf all the way along the back and acts as a hide sorta.

    You can try it, but like I told you before, season changes make snakes slow down. My hogg island boa (who never refused a meal before) hasn't eaten in one month since the cool down of season change.

    just my thoughts, that cage is big for a baby bp. you could put a plastic tub inside of it until the snake is bigger. also the cage looks really bright, alot of light, maybe a little less light. just some things to try to get the snake back feeding again.

    first of all he's not a baby, he's 4 feet long! second of all it only looks bright because at the time my room was really dark so it has some major contrast with the lighting, and the camera was lookind directly at the light. and the lights are only on from 7am-8pm. 13 hours cuz im trying to get them to start eating again.

    hey it's just an opinion, we all have them! lol i thought it was a baby, it looked like a baby in a big cage 1st pic. ok, it's a 4ft male in a big cage. i used to keep mine in cages and in my opinion when i went to racks and plastic tubs i got better feeding and sheds. i like black racks, to me it gives them a "burrow effect" like they are in a burrow or hole.

    Yeah, racks are great.. I can't wait until I can afford to put all my snakes in them (all but the big ones that is..)
