Ok here they are in their new cages

[cschimizzi]

My temps are perfect with one being 94.6 and the other being 94.8 and both are about 80 on the cool side and my humidity is 54%. Plus they both just ate for me. First time they ever had F/T and I warm them up and they took them with no problem. I think I am getting the hang of this snake stuff. LOL

They look AWESOME! And happy too! You did a GREAT job (although those are the largest ventilation holes I've ever seen! :eek: LOL).


It is so refreshing when a new member joins, soaks in the information and just goes for it!

[cschimizzi]

Yeah it has been fun and I feel so much better now that they are in them. Those holes just look really big in the pic. I zoomed in alittle. My little finger can't fit in them.

I was just teasing you about the ventilation holes - the kiddos are too large for them anyway, so no worries! Like I said - great job! I'm so proud of you, I could cry!

[cschimizzi]

Yeah I am pretty proud of myself too.....THANKS so much once again for all of your help Raber....I truly appreicate it!!!

Tubs look good. Glad you got the temps and humidity almost dead on. Getting a tub at the right levels can be a pain in the arse. Hehe had trouble with my new BP's set up. His humidity was at 60% and I wanted it down to 50. Finally got it at about 52%.

[cschimizzi]

Yeah I am going to keep a close eye on them to make sure the temps stay right.

Yeah I am pretty proud of myself too.....THANKS so much once again for all of your help Raber....I truly appreicate it!!!

You are more than welcome! Now - the one picture that will really bring my heart joy is the one you'll post in a few months of you holding the kiddos!!!

[cschimizzi]

yeah that one might take awhile...but I am sure I will get there. Here are a few pics of my true passion. I adore my dogs.

What beautiful powerful looking animals! Are they mastiffs of some sort?

edit - I did some googling after looking at the properties of your pictures and googled corso - So they are Cane Corso's or Italian mastiffs, right?

The Cane Corso Italiano is the original Cane Corso breed. It originated in Italy. Its direct ancestor is the "Canis Pugnax" (the old Roman Molossian) of which he is the light version employed in the hunting of large wild animals and also as an "auxiliary warrior" in battles. For years he has been a precious companion of the Italic populations. Employed as property, cattle and personal guard dog and used for hunting purposes too. In the past this breed was common all over Italy as an ample iconography and historiography testify. In the recent past he has found a excellent preservation area in Southern Italy, especially in Puglia, Lucania and Sannio. His name derives from the Latin "Cohors" which means "Guardian", "Protector".
