    Caging woes...

    I had a local guy build me a couple of 4x2x2 PVC cages. He installed LED lighting stripping. I love the features of remote control and changing colors with a press of a button.

    However, don't trust the factory adhesive. Between high humidity and an extremely active/curious/highly professional escape artist Coastal Carpet, she pulled the strip down. Fortunately, it did not stick to her bad enough to remove any scales. But it was a mess getting the substrate off of it.

    I reattached the strip with a liberal amount of silicone sealant. That is the ticket! But it did take a few days to dry since I purposely applied enough to ooze out the sides of the strip. So I had to relocate Lizzy during that time.

    I have a Boa that I rescued in the other cage. She is surprisingly not much of cage climber, probably due to her lack of opportunity in the past. Thus, her LEDs are still intact. But I feel that it will eventually fail.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
