Dreaming of Red Tails...

Leah, how many grams was your boa when you moved him to a 4' cage?? Just curious as to when I need to move my girl.

I moved him probably at about 1,500 grams or so. That's really just eyeballing it though, because weighing him isn't the easiest task in the world lol.

Here's my male Kahl strain albino, Humphry


And my little sweetheart Leeloo, she's a motley 100% het albino


They are addictive!

Ugh! You're killing me! If the cage comes with flexwatt will it already be wired/ready to plug in to a thermostat?

I didn't even notice that. If only it wouldn't be cruel to put a small tophat and monocle on them....

Leah? If you don't mind my asking, why AP instead of Boaphile next time? I'm looking at 6x2 Boaphiles for my girls that I intend to order around the end of the year. (Hopefully Sept/Oct) Also, is it advisable to get flex watt and an RHP? I was just gonna get RHPs. Then again, I live in Florida and it's god awful hot year round...so having only one will probably work for me.

To the OP: Boas are AMAZING! I love mine to pieces. I agree that they are addictive though. You'll want more than one. As to how college students afford expensive cages? They save for over a year for them. That's how. I'm looking at a $1500 price tag roughly, for two at once.

side note: you know i can think of a time you said no to a mustache...

now back on topic, you could also build something as well. It all comes down to what you want and like. if you are dreaming of stuff already draw a few things ideas up and look into what matterial costs are. There are a ton of different matterials to use as well so dont limit your ideas.

BTW i am a fan of BCCs more specificly peruvian Redtails.

Well, other than Boaphile being dang near impossible to reach by phone, the few times I called with questions about the enclosure they weren't exactly...pleasant. They made me feel like I was asking stupid questions. Also, the flexwatt was not working when it arrived, I had to buy new clamps and re-wire it myself...which is no problem since I know what I'm doing...but if I had never done it before it would have been a fiasco. I've heard AP is just overall easier to work with. I love my boaphile, but I'd like to try AP next time.

As for the flexwatt and RHP, usually you don't need that, but I live in Massachusetts and my house can be kind of drafty in the winter so I got both. I only run the RHP during these months.
