Looking good!

Keep it up. I want to see you with a 24"-30" tall cage eventually.

You made a wonderful decision taking that snake home!

Yeah, I ordered a 3x2x2 cage from Jim/Pvccages and it's still 3 more weeks until he ships out... so it'll be here!
Thanks, I'm really pleased with her! She's fairly active and aware of what I'm doing, turning her head this way and that like a little bird. I was doodling her the other day (she was in her enclosure), and she would look at my face one second, and look down at my pencil the next. Much more interesting to watch than my other snakes.

Love your snake! Looking forward to seeing the new enclosure.

I finally got some photos of her with the nikon today. But then she wouldn't let go of this handle thing (it's on an electric bike) and that was a struggle. It's always a struggle handling arboreal snakes if they get themselves wrapped around something!

I also measured more accurately that she is actually about 4'2" when stretched out, so we have a size now. I also figured out her first balancing point/bottom of her neck, so her strike range is about 1.5~2 feet, which is kind of wild.

And in case people missed it, she's a year and 7 months old. Seller said she was a yearling, but he was wrong LOL.

3x2x2 from Jim Scharphorn/PVCcages and a lot of pics to spam everybody with! It took me half a day to nail the panels together and then set it all up for her. Thankfully I already know how RHP's and probe placement works LOL.

And she is quite active and quite shy, always interesting to watch! She has sooo much room now. Despite being over 4' long, she's actually still small enough to still curl up under a SMALL size reptilebasics hide with only a little body sticking out, if that gives you guys an idea on her size, which is kind of wild. I had the small hide in her last cage, which she used often. She uses every inch of the cage often actually. One minute she'll be in the small hide, next she'll be in the big hide, perching on one branch, perching on another branch, or curled in 3 different spots in the back, or I'll see her cruising...

All taken from my phone.












And last pic I took from her temp enclosure, classic arboreal curl.
