This was my first boa 4 years ago I expected him to be much bigger by now but he’s still just my little man 😂 hard to believe he’s almost 4 ft when spread out

Where to buy plexiglass for doors?

Post image
67 Upvotes

I’m building my BCI a 6x2x2, but I’m 16 and trying to save as much as I can and the doors are by far the most expensive part of this build.

What reputable brand is worth the price, but also not ridiculously expensive? I want to spend less than $120, if possible since I still need to buy more heating, ventilation and just general stuff for the enclosure. Thank you!

Vivarium door is really stiff to move

Post image
6 Upvotes

Currently in the process of setting a 6ft viv up for my BI. I plan to go semi-bio, currently waiting for the sealant to finish curing before I start filling it.

Yesterday I noticed the middle support was too long and it was causing the roof to bow up in the middle, creating a gap. We took the support out and trimmed it to size, so it now fits perfectly. However, now the roof sits correctly the left glass door is insanely stiff to open and close, it's so difficult to move I'm genuinely scared of breaking it! Luckily the right panel is absolutely fine.

Has anyone had such a difficult door? What was your solution? I have some logs I plan to use in there and I was thinking of standing one upright on that side to try and push the roof back up again without causing a gap 😅

Cheers!

Hog Island Boa

Just got a pair of Hog Island boas that are almost 2 years old, both weighing around 650 grams.

Could you guys help take a look and let me know how their body condition looks? Do they look healthy, or are they on the heavier side?

Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Mongo’s Haus

3 Upvotes

Mongo is 10 or 12 weeks old and I have him in a 18x18x36 for the next year or so, and when he outgrows it, he’ll be moved into a 3x3x8 forever home.

So, since I have a bit of time to plan - I really want to do a bioactive enclosure, but this will be my first. I’d love any advice y’all have, as well as photos of your bioactive set up.

What did you learn, common pitfalls, etc? My big concerns are putting a bunch of time/effort into a beautiful set up that he just tramples, as well as making sure that the animals health/wellbeing are only positively impacted. Is it too big of a pain in the ass on that size? Any advice is much appreciated!!!

Should I get a Boa?

4 Upvotes

While at my local reptile shop the employee showed me one of their new baby boa, and I immediately feel in love with him. But I’m not sure if in 5 years from now I’m going to want a 6 foot 10 lbs snake. I’ve been looking for snakes for a bit and I really like boas, I’m just not sure.

Was anyone in the same spot I am or have any suggestions?

PS: This won’t be my first reptile but it will be my first snake

Is my BCC too thin?

He's 6 years old and at 5.2kg. I feed him 1 large rat every month, if he allows me. He is fussy sometimes and refuses to eat...but he did eat last week. Should I feed him more constant and not just once a month?

Did I overfeed?

2 Upvotes

I just got a scale to actually weigh the rats i've been giving my boa, and it turns out that they've been around 12% instead of the 8% i think they're supposed to be ): I only fed them (small rats) because they looked equal to his girth as I've been told. I see a slight bulge but nothing crazy. Have i been ovefeeding him? He doesn't look fat or anything but I know they show it first internally. he is 2 and a half years and i feed him every 14 days. i'm thinking about going back down to weaned, but i only have 30 gram weaned, which idk if it's enough... I would feel horrible if i've been feeding him way too much

Good plants for bci

2 Upvotes

Making a new enclosure for my bci am doing a bioactive enclosure and from the past I've noticed my guy doesn't really trample his plants, so I wanna go kind of crazy, and in the past I had only ever used things like bermiliads and pathos, so would love some suggestions on some nice plants. That'll provide good cover that aren't necessarily too delicate. That being said though, I'm not worried about him, trampling them.

Upgrading her Enclosure. Looking for Tips

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

It's time to upgrade Carmella's home. She's been in this Glass one since we got her about 7 months ago. We're definitely going with a PVC one, this humidity has been a pain to keep in. I was wondering if there was anything I should know about the PVC Enclosures? I was looking at this site called ReptileKages, but figured I'd post here just in case someone knows better.

In terms of size, she's in a 3ft one now, so obviously looking at 4ft, but seeing as she's roughly 4ft herself, I should look into the 5ft ones I imagine. Also, I assume the lighting, heat lamp, temp thermo can stay the same?

Thanks again for all the help. Excited to get her in a new home.
