    What enclosure do you use for your big girls?? i have a blood python and i don't know where to place her when she gets that big.. Shes a bit nasty sometimes, she comes in red color, the common colors.. Thanks though...
    The solution in such a case would be a hide box.. My large girls all have one which fits into the 2X4 cages as well as the vison V 90 or boa tubs.. The hide box of choice is a plastic tub with an entry hole cut of the appropriate size.. The caged animals are always seen with their head hanging out, Unless they are blue then they'll retreat..This set up has been adopted by a few others lately and it works wonders.. Our Borneo's are all pets but in the case where you have a less then friendly animal it puts handle's on them and makes caring for them much easier.. Our hides are Rubbermaid 10 gallon totes with lid , 2214s I believe.. Lowes, home depot have them.. You'll find that the animal spends most of the time in there and makes cage cleaning a breeze, more often then not just cleaning the hide..

    Re: Big momma's house..

    My apology for having possibly shut down any further comments or questions.. Here's silly me playing with 3 more fat girls which as you may see are pets and a joy to play with.. There was no "blood" drawn and nothing emitted from the tail end..If I had had a red clown nose I would have put it on but darn the luck.. Because of the activity the one girl who's tail I pointed at you did in fact deficate after being put back in her enclosure..These 3 are round abouts 20 lbs a piece.. 2 of them laid eggs this past spring and one is a 2009 virgin..There is 2 2009's and 1 2010..
