Gene finally has a thread!

I get mine usually within 2 days when I order them but I always just pay the extra couple bucks for 2nd day priority.

Gene is starting his she'd cycle. This is his large 16" x 9" hide that he easily fits into. Still not sure how!

On a serious note, why does gene only do this in shed? (Can't post video) It's like he is sneezing. He has done it every time he starts his cycle. It's not an RI I have inspected his mouth everytime.

Sort of huffing and puffing a bit? Like a short, quick sneeze? Phyllis does that all the time. Used to be just in shed but has gotten more "talkative" with her increasing size. No sign of RI or any obstructions or anything. Just full of hot air haha

Got new thermometers today, leds, new thermostat will be in tomorrow. Just need to find a substrate to use and get larger water bowls.

What does everyone prefer as far as substrate? Not a fan of aspen, I use cypress mulch but I'm worried that a fresh bag will be way too damp and have the humidity high for to long. (Had that problem in the past).

Caesar does the quick breaths too but usually only when he is out and about on me. Like he's huffing in my ear lol. I used aspen for years and it worked. Then did RpetiChips which worked good too except I couldn't find pisses very easily and it was a nightmare for the boas as they buried poop and piss like cats. I switched back to Eco Earth which so far is working well plus it's cheap so I can just throw out Caesar's stuff every month and the boas every 1.5-2 months.

For water bowls, check out the Tractor Supplies Co 5 QT camo dog bowls. I use them for the bog boas and Caesar and they work awesome.

And lol to the poop on the floor. Hopefully Caesar doesn't do that lol.

Is Eco earth too dusty? Or messy?

I tried Eco earth with my BRB but it was a nuisance , if it's kept damp it's not too bad but even then it gets everywhere ( like aspen does ) when you get the snake out . Eco Earth when left to dry out is light and dusty - not good .

All mine are orchid bark / ReptiBark which is dark in colour and looks great , it also enhances the colour of snakes ( especially when they look like yours ! ) . Also fabulous for holding / regulating the humidity which you need .


See what it does for bright snakes
