Your new cage looks great. It’s going to be fun watching how your collection comes together.

Looks great man! I have never owned a Retic but the way Sauzo makes it sound, they pee A LOT.

If it's me, I buy some epoxy resin (usually available from like a Lowes or Home Depot nowdays) and coat the bottom and a few inches up the sides. Super easy. Mix equal parts and pour it in, spread it around, and you have 100% waterproof cage bottom that can't be destroyed. It's clear so it would show your new paint too.

Just my $0.02 and typical nitpicking

That's an understatement. I am always picking up little dollops of white piss around Caesar's cage. He never drops huge ones like the boas, instead he just dabs a little all over haha. His poops though, those are like the size of a small child. Luckily those only come about once a week. But yeah, if you dont mind literally having to spot clean once a day, you will like a retic.

I second the good choice with glass. I had Rosey strike an acrylic door on her old Constrictors NW cage and it left a scratch on it. Had Caesar strike his glass doors a few times and it leaves a mouth mark which is easy to wipe off with some F10.

Same here for my large Coastal Carpets. It’s like as soon as they hit the 7 foot length, no more big piles of urates. A bunch a small ones all over, everyday, for 6-9 days nonstop, with a little paintbrushing in between- and I mean smeared all over the shelves. It’s like some kid comes in and squeezes out Elmer’s glue all over. Not so, with my 6 + foot Jungle Carpets.

My Boas are like yours too, just one or two big globs or stools, even my big boy.

That’s why I will never go all out on decorations and landscaping like Gio and others.

Haha yup. Luckily Caesar hasnt dragged it onto his shelf yet.

And yeah, Rosey dropped a huge urate this morning in the corner. It was the size of a large strawberry. I found it quick enough, it didnt have time to set into concrete yet lol.

While i love the natural setups like Gio's, i too couldnt do it for Caesar. The boas could and obviously the GTP as Pat is weird i guess and actually comes down to the floor to drop a deuce or piss. He never just drops them off his perch.

Yep! This is why I don't do fun enclosures for the bigger snakes
And of course this was within moments of putting her back in her freshly cleaned and disinfected cage. Half pint of piss waterfall off the shelf...
