Wow you went deep. One block of Reptichips is enough to do 3 of my T8s and 2 of my T10s so basically 5 4x2 cages. I only go about 1/2" deep though as i use flexwatt and something i noticed which you can let me know if it is the same for you.
When you go deep with any of the coco stuff, does it start to smell musty or swampy after a few days? For me when i first used the stuff, i went deep on the cool side and shallower on the hot side but after a few days, when i would slide the cage open, it would have that musty/swampy smell.
Since going only deep enough to cover the floor and allow ventilation throughout the substrate, it doesnt have any smell.
Anyways, let me know what you notice.
And on a side note, i had Caesar out today and my god, he has grown and put on girth and weight. Didnt get any pics as I was too busy dealing with Caesar haha.

Ugh, I have no idea yet, I literally did it today. I wasn't too worried because I use RHP but I guess we will see. I found Gene in the kitchen and he was stretched out to about 7 tiles, so he should have hit the 7' mark now. He's getting girth now so I think he is at his end of growth. He is only a little thicker than my wrist now.
We need updates!

Yeah the RHP side will probably be fine. The side I had the flexwatt on was fine. It was the cool side and being so deep that it kind of stayed damp and cool under the top layer and then just got that musty/swampy smell haha. Noticed it the most when I would stir the substrate.
And sounds like Gene is getting big. I'll have to get Caesar out and somehow corral him on the floor for a pic lol. He is a busy snake that loves to cruise around. I had him out today and he was using my body like a racetrack haha. Cruising around my leg, my shoulders, my head and then finally took a break and hung down from shoulder down my back and just sat there haha.

Have you tried the tricks of giving him something to push around? (like a half filled (water) 2 liter bottle or a ball or something)
He's coloring up so nicely!
