Re: because we all like pictures... and im bored
as requested here are some more of the cage. its hard to get a good full view pic and i only have a cellphone. i have organic soil and mulch laid in there about 2-3in deep with pill bugs and other decomposes that came with the leaf litter i put in. logs were found along a river(amazing place for good stuff BTW). i have a reptile basics 160w RHP directly over where she is, along with 2 rows of 11in flexwatt going under 3/4 of the cage(house is cold) then just a normal tub for water which i keep low so keep the humidity from going to crazy. and the lights are a LED strip with a remote control that can change colors and all kinds of fun stuff, snake doesnt care so i change it up as i feel.
thanks for all the compliments, shes a big part of my life

Interesting observation Millertime, I have noticed similar changes in some of my animals when moved to a larger enclosure. Beautiful Retic by the way!

Re: because we all like pictures... and im bored
I know what you mean about her being a big part of your life. She's beautiful and I love you're cage. I'm planning on getting cages with more climbing room for my tics this year, I wonder what AP would charge for this cage a 3 or 4 feet high?

that would be sweet, but yea id be scared to see that price tag even more so the shipping bill haha. the glass would be your biggest issue, each piece of glass in mine weighs close to 40lbs! youd need to frame the glass and put it on rollers

Re: because we all like pictures... and im bored
Speaking of which what was the lead time and shipping prices like? Total cost shipped?
They make the 6x2x4 high cage with sliding glass.

Re: because we all like pictures... and im bored
That's not too bad. She'll always have plenty of room. Have you thought about putting some branches in to give her a perch?

yea she has lots of room thats for sure. Yea i really want to but im not sure how to go about it, just b/c of her power, that root/tree i have in there is close to 50lbs and she will push it around once in a while. so idk how to mount up some branches in there. any ideas?

Yeah you definitely want any branches well secured. I'd personally find a section of a tree that is the size/shape you want and put a few screws through the wall into the log/tree. You could run a couple, at a different heights, the entire length or find something that will branch down from one side... How ever you do it make sure it's secure.
Chuck, I considered the boamaster cages at one point but have decided against melamine in favor of plastic. It's just more permanent when the bottom gets filled with a gallon of Reticulated python piss. One scratch and the wood could swell.
