Gerald Super Dwarf Ultra Ivory Retic Progression

[jmcrook]

I love the 6 foot by 30 inch deep by 2 feet tall! Reaching in is much, much easier for sure.


Despite what appears to be very involved and difficult to clean, this cage is probably the most simplistic unit here. Just one hide, and a huge water bowl that occupy the floor. The bowl is giant and really adds humidity to the cage. I really don't feel the need to clean the perches unless they get soiled with waste. I've not once had a mold issue with anything in the cages, or any sanitary issues. I change the water, clean all waste at first sight and change the substrate every 6 months. I spot clean and remove it and add it more frequently but total change outs are twice a year.

I love the Tiger pattern and Wallace, love it, but can't but help thinking what a bright animal like Gerald or Caesar would look like in this cage. My guess is incredible.

For retics on the smaller end, 7-10 feet with SD or Dwarf girth, I think this size cage and setup is really slick. Its very fun to watch them behave like wild snakes, even if the self made environment is only my interpretation of their true habitat.

I get the same colubrid running response from Wallace. I know my carpet has an extra gear, but these SD x Dwarf retics are like lightning.

I look forward to you getting set up the way you want.

That’s one of the things I really like about your enclosures. They look complex and naturalistic but designed in a very manageable, easy to clean fashion. That size cage would be perfect for Gerald but I’d feel guilty about getting him a bigger cage than Phyllis has. Especially considering she’s about 3-4x his body mass. We’ll get things sorted out in time. He’s fine in that T8 for now but I know he would use all the height I can offer him when I get the chance
