    t8 ok for young?

    I received two Cay boas, I'd guess they are a foot long or so. I have them in one half of an AP T8. I plan to separate them but have a few questions first. The T8's second sliding glass door (the outer one, one the right if facing the doors) seems to have a sizable gap between the first and second door. I am concerned the snake could slip through there. In the left side it doesn't seem possible because the gap is on the wrong side of the 1st (inside glass). Do you guys think this is possible? The vent slats I don't think they can get through but can anyone reassure me? These are the first snakes I've had in a long time so I don't want to lose them.

    One neat thing I found about the t8, it shipped with a lot of styrofoam that I cut into relevant sizes to winterize the windows in the snake room. I just have to great stuff the pieces stuck in the window together now and wrap the windows in plastic and I think it'll be good for winter (I live in the Northeast so it gets COLD around here).

    I bought my first AP T8 at 2:00 PM today. It's now 6:00 PM... So I can't help you because I don't have experience with the T8's. :/ But how long did it take for yours to be shipped to you?

    I think it took less than 3 weeks. It took about an hour to put together and I let the silicone dry for a week before using it. The instructions were a little vague but once I figured out which direction the pieces went, it was easy to put together.

    Could you maybe use the Styrofoam to wedge in the crack that you were talking about? That might work? And it comes to you unassembled? Lol The Boaphile cages come to you pre assembed :o
