Questions about what you personally enjoy about your animals / just general questions

I only have ball pythons. At first I got one because they are docile, fairly large, and easy to handle. Then I enjoyed watching it in its enclosure, more than handling it. It is true that they hide most of the time, but at night they come out and I have exoterra night bulbs, which are very dim purple "moonlight" heat bulbs. The ball pythons love to come out at night and crawl around my three large Neodesha display cages. I also have 8 other snakes in a rack system. I use the largest tubs possible and put hides in the tubs, so they can move around and regulate their temperature.

I MUCH PREFER THE NEODESHA DISPLAY CAGES! It is very enjoyable for me to watch them come out at night and hang out. My large normal female is super friendly and extroverted. She will hang out in the open basking in the heat lamp for hours. When I slide open the glass doors, she slithers towards me nonchalantly like, "hey, lets hang out, what is happening?"

The ball pythons that live in the rack, I really don't get to enjoy them much at all. I never see them, and basically just enjoy feeding them once per week, and as we all know, even that can be frustrating when they refuse to eat for whatever reason. I am enjoying the morphs and the idea of breeding, hence the rack system to keep multiple snakes. If and when I ever retire form the breeding projects, I will probably sell off all of my collection, save for my favorite most extroverted 3 snakes, which I will keep in the Neodesha's as pets.

I love my Neodesha slant cage. And I loved the 6 I used to have (4 footers) but I sold them prior to a move. Now I only have the one 36 inch cage.

Just a couple of weeks ago I decided to update to the 4 ft. one and guess what...they don't make them anymore !!! I'm so upset. I really think they make the NICEST display cages ever. Wide open view. Easy to maintain heat and humidity, easy to clean. And none of those PVC concerns.

I decided to look for used ones, but no luck, all way to far away and as paranoid as I am, I would have a hard time with used until I bleach them for days.


You got very lucky with those 3 you got.


Eventually, when I decide to stop breeding, I will only have 3 to 6 animals or so, and I will handpick my favorites from my own hatchlings. Personality and looks wise We all know they will be Desert Ghost somethings

REALLY!? Wow, I feel really lucky to have the 4 foot long Neodesha's. I agree with you that they are the best display cages ever, as far as I know.

Yup.

The web page is disabled (the cart). They are selling car parts on ebay now. They told me they will sell cages again, but only the stackable ones. I don't like those as much. I keep hoping they will change their mind or that they sell that part of the business.

Those Neodeshas have been around forever. True and tried. If only I had gotten the bigger one while I could.

Not that a Ball Python male "needs" a 4 footer, but I have space for it and my male is quite large. He has settled so nicely into that cage and I figured going from that one to the 4 ft one would not be to much stress as the cage is just about the same, just a bit longer.

Sigh, I will keep checking ebay and craigslist, but I live to rural to luck out like you did.

I enjoy playing hide and seek with my snakes for brown hotdogs buried in the substrate.....or the pile of urate they manage to bury and it had enough time to set up and become concrete lol.

sorry to get off on this tangent, but I found a link to the 48" neodeshas'....http://npicages.com/48_cage_3_pack.html

Yes, and when you try to add them to the cart, it says shopping cart disabled. They do not use this website anymore.
They went to "ebay only" and last time I checked it was plastic car parts, although they said they will have the stackable cages available again...

Thanks for looking though

This is my big boy checking out his new homemade shelf. The other one was to small so I made a bigger one.

It will have more of a plant curtain to hide behind..eventually.

I made another shelf that I can play around with, waterproof with pond liner and add driftwood or bamboo and fake plants. While that one is in the works, he can play with the plain version

He always looks so small in pictures. His middle is bigger around then my upper arm!
