Nah, I just use the shelf. Caesar doesn't push anymore. I think the almost 2 months of aggressive feeding has mellowed him out a lot. He has filled out nicely and is more of the lounge retic now lol. He's shed 3 times now and I figure he is at least as long as his T10 if not a bit longer now.
I've decided to push him out to every 7 days on his feedings now.
I'll end up getting him a T25 like the boas but for right now, the T10 is perfect for him. I personally love the AP cages. I just ordered a stand from them as I stacked my 3 T10s and now the top one I need a chair to clean it lol. So once the stand gets here, i'll be able to set it up and then have a nice spot next to that stack for a stack of 3 T25s.
I think you will need a 6' cage Jmcrook. I mean yours is a female so I would guess she will get around 10'. Kris said my male should live in a T10 his whole life and be fine but I think i'm going to get him the 72x30x18 T25 anyways but unless he makes some monster growth between now and spring time when I order the cages, I will be getting the Vicky one first. Rosey is for sure getting one first and foremost as she is my biggest. Then its a race between who gets the 2nd one and the 3rd one will come end of summer.
As for the pushing, I honestly don't think its a shelf or perch issue. I mean you see all these videos of guys with big retics in 8' cages with no shelf or perch and they are fine and quiet. I think its just food driven or improper cage temps/humidity etc. But I think Jmcrook has his cage set up good. I think his girl just wants food to grow and her pushing is her trying to "find" food since she cant slither all over like in the wild hunting for dinner. Like I said, Caesar went through his phase of going bonkers for food and anything that moved. He also shed 3 times in just under 2 months and close to doubled his size. Now though he is mellowed out like I said and still looks at movement but doesn't come charging it like before. Although last night he did come straight to the glass doors when I wiggled a wadded up white paper towel lol. Think he thought it was a rat haha. Then when he saw it wasn't dinner, he wandered off and sat half on top of his hide.
