My New Boaphiles!
Yup, I picked up two spanking new Boaphiles and they arrived here in my home in Miami FL for when Kaybe & Pika come home with me this May.
When they arrived
What they look like now...
They're both going to have the identical set up, except Pika's will have smaller and more hides since he's still fairly small and I don't want him to be overwhelmed by the open space.
Kaybe especially loves his half-log hides since it's what he's always had, and he loves to sit with his head poking outside of it at all times, so I've decided to get half-logs for his new home too. Pika also uses half-logs, so he'll have some too, but with more hiding spots because he's younger.
Tomorrow I'll play with the thermostat and humidity and see how well it keeps, to get everything in perfect shape for when they come down

They're now on a proper table too, not on the piano stool

Re: My New Boaphiles!
Uh-oh! You mean they're empty at the moment?! Now that's a tempting situation - I don't know that'd I be able to resist not filling them with something

Nah, the empty cages will be in Philly, and it would be sooo expensive to ship them down. I'm going to try and sell them before I go.

Re: My New Boaphiles!
They look beautiful.
Just so you know though, I was over at a buddies place who has 80 or so of those, and the locking hinges on the inside are so rusted out that he has a difficult time opening and closing them. TERRIBLE design flaw. Just a heads up.
