Dumpster diving

Not worth it.

I was able to get this monster in the house tonight. It will have to sit in the livingroom until the Narcisse Den adventure is over.
I'm not sure how my radixes are going to react to the mirrored back panels. Should be worth a few laughs at their expense.

I will have to make a hinged screened top for it later. It is having a light problem but shouldn't be too difficult to fix.

The mirrors are coming out. I found those panel frames are easy to disassemble. I'm going to make both of them screened. Getting it into use should happen a lot quicker. Still, it will have to wait until next week. I have too much on my plate to add it in. I missed out on another one of these a couple of weeks ago. $50 is a great price for this much room.

it sure is

Just put that display case in use. The top is 1/4 inch peg board(good ventalation and heavy) The back sliding doors are now screened front doors. I still need to decorate it but they have their hide and water for now. I'm going to put a brush pile in at one end and give them a much larger water dish. This is a group of females that were born 14 months ago. While I was loading it up some of them came to the opened door, looked out and went about their business.
I expected as much since they have been trained not to leave their enclosures I mean without permission

The 30 gal. breeder that is on top is going to get a group of newborns from last month.

nice to have all that space to play with - how fun
myself I'm going through some serious reptilian real estate lack right now
what's the substrate?

[guidofatherof5]

what's the substrate?

Crushed/dried corn cob. Wait! Wait! don't yell at me. I understand and am aware of the problems that it can cause. I am very diligent at feeding time. They all get handfed. Once they take the food, I take them out. I monitor the corn cob more than daily. Wet/soiled cob is removed. The first thing I do in the morning is clean enclosures. The last thing I do at night is clean enclosures.
I hope that the system I use, will reduce greatly the problems associated from its use.

Okay, now you can yell at me

[drache]

why would I?
I've got no experience with the stuff
I currently like cage carpet, because I can see everything on it

Very nice job, Steve. I bet some Radix are going to appreciate the fruits of your labor.

I'm just messing with you. Corn cob can't be digested and can cause intestinal blockages resulting in serious medical issues or death. I don't think a small piece eaten by an adult snake will cause a problem. Their digestive tract is large enough that it will pass through. The major problem is when smaller/baby snakes ingest it.
