Athena in new enclosure
It has been a while since I have been on here. I recently completed my enclosure. It is my first and I think it is pretty decent. Got a couple pictures of her shedding last night. Actually the first time that I have seen her do it. Then she decided to soak in the freshly cleaned water dish and take a massive dump in it.
Update on Athena: She is about 2 1/2 I think. She just reached 6ft recently and she weighs about 10 1/2 lbs. I honestly don't know enough about the specific subspecies but I would guess either BCC or BCI just due to how common and relatively low cost. She is a great snake and very gentle.

Re: Athena in new enclosure
Wow!! Really nice snake. I love the solid stripe on her tail. How big is your enclosure? It appears enormous!

Re: Athena in new enclosure
Beautiful snake and nice looking enclosure. Any chance you can give us a full shot of your enclosure? It looks like you did a very nice job and I'm sure folks here would love to see it.

Re: Athena in new enclosure
Yeah, I'd love to see more pics of that enclosure. What are the specs on it? How are you heating it?

Re: Athena in new enclosure
Well thank you for the responses and the encouragement. I already have a thread with some pictures of the build. Here is the link. http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/gener...new-build.html
I will take more pictures eventually. I am always trying to think of things to do to make it a little nicer. As far as specs go it is roughly 8' long and a little less than 3' high in the enclosure part and roughly 30" front to back. I have a 160 watt RHP heating it. It works just fine I think it actually is a little overworked but so far its doing fine. I am thinking of putting in a heat mat but I don't need it. I am not finish carpenter so there is still plenty of imperfections. But for my skill set I am pretty damn happy with it. I'll get more pics of Athena when she decides to uncoil and stretch out a bit.
