But she did use it immediately after eating like she always used to. Been in there for an hour or more. Maybe that’s something she’s been wanting? It is a mystery to me anymore.
Maybe an 8’x2.5-3’x2’ cage with one giant tub/bowl and one big hide with a shelf covering 1/3 of the cage on the cool side halfway up the height or a tad more and another climbing obstacle to be determined. Unless AP can do something manageably modular at that scale I may get more serious about designing a custom plywood cage and deck that sucker out.

If I do I’ll let you know! It’s about a 12hr drive though hahha!
The only thing really stopping me from starting a build is the inevitable ungodly weight of a birch plywood cage at 8’ even if I make it two 4’ sections. Need to just call AP because Ali hasn’t answered any of my emails for the last three weeks. Ideal cage that can make it through a standard door for me would be two 4’x30”x24” cages that connect to make an 8’ behemoth cage. Gonna wait on that though and hope to jeebus that giving Phyllis a swimming pool will calm her ass down. She’s still in there since last night lol.

Thanks man. Sometimes I just sit and stare at her thinking, “wow... I raised that thing from a two ounce worm less than two feet long into this beast of an animal.” Blows my mind sometimes. I wish y’all could see her in person. She’s quite the impressive physical presence when handling her. And yeah, the best looking critters seem to be the most demanding and the most work. Still love her as much as she drives me nuts most of the time

I 100% agree, have had lots of animals over the years but Gene is so unique. First reptile I've ever had that honestly seems to have a personality. He seems to show emotion and empathy, but it might just be me over reading.

Lol maybe a little bit over reading and I do the same at times, but they definitely show a seemingly higher level of recognition and interaction and inquisitiveness than any other snake I’ve had.
