Gene finally has a thread!

[jmcrook]

What stinks is that his mom and dad were both at 7' so I ordered a T10 as he was always a runt. Now I need a new enclosure for him. Damn you big snakes!

Tell me about it. Phyllis’s parents were 6’ and 7’. She’s now closer to 10’ and could damn near use an 8’ cage. She just got in her 6’ cage in September...

Took the kids out for the first time in the yard at the house, they did great! Took Gene awhile to get uses to grass but was super chill after. Tina is in shed and Ava claims that its her snake so she holds her the entire time.

Yea he has grown like a weed, still has a baby head. Now I could really use your opinion (well I guess everyones). I need ideas for his enclosure. He is in a t10 and is getting a little big for it. I want an 8' enclosure but that's $$$$. I have thought about another t10 and bolting them together, sealing it so he has a 8' enclosure. But I don't have the spare $500 for the enclosure, a bigger RHP and lights.

I pulled his sky hide as he doesn't use it anymore. He doesn't use his hide unless he's in shed. Do I just pull the hid for more floor space? Maybe push his water dish to one side? He's not pushing until day 6.

Damn alimony and now mortgage payment too.

Honestly, if i was you, i would just suck it up and get a T65 and sell the T10 with the RHP to help offset the cost of the T65 and a new RHP unless you want to get another snake lol.

The thing about bolting the 2 T10s together is they are only 24 inches deep and 15 inches high. I feel it would be kind of a waste if Gene is large enough to need a 6 or 8 foot cage. I personally would not want anything shorter than 18 inches in that long of a cage and 30-36 inches deep would give plenty of room for jumbo hides and a shelf. I mean the ultimate would be a T70 but all said and done, you would probably be looking at close to $1000. But since you only have 2 snakes, I would just focus on getting the biggest you can for Gene and call it done. Plus I'm sure all of us on here would be pretty jealous. I know i would be if you scored a T70 for Gene lol.

As for the hide, i always like to give them a hide a two. Caesar uses his hides about 50% of the time. Or he will sleep curled up on the shelf. And the problems you are running into with the hides and water bowl are the same thing i ran into when i had Rosey in a T10 when she was about 5-6 feet. Once you get even a 6 foot cage, it is pretty nice. But again, if i was you and only had 2 snakes and no real plans for more, i would just bite the bullet and get Caesar a loaded T70 and just deck it out all call it good.

And yeah, the rabbit didnt last Caesar as long as i thought haha. He is out and about again and took a big poop. Luckily, Caesar doesnt really push much anymore but he is all over the cage at night.

You're killing me with this talk. I have been digging at the idea of a new enclosure. We moved from a small 2 bed room apartment to an over priced split level so we needed more furniture. We bought a B.S. tv stand until I wall mount the tv and install new boxes to hid the wires. Been kicking around the idea of a T25 as the entertainment type center with the tv above it. And Tina can stay in the basement living room. 8' just takes up so much damn space. Need to sweet talk Kendall into this.

Well, a T25 would work fine as it seems a lot of people keep bigger retics in them with no problem. I just personally like to give my snakes more room if i can which is why i say the T65 lol. Gene would probably be in heaven. Plus you only have two snakes so it's not like Kendra will have to listen you wanting a new cage every year haha. The BP is plenty good in a T10.
