Boa constrictor new bioactive terrarium
Hello everyone
I'm in the planning stages of the new bioactive vivarium I creating for my awesome boa.
I'm planning on it being 6'L x 3'H x 2'W with sliding front doors
The bottom 12" will be a baffle wall for the 2" drain layer and 10" of soil so the glass doors will be 24" tall viewing.
I'm going to be getting an RHP for the ambient temps and will continue to use her CHE for basking on a timer for day time
There will be 1 or 2 6' long tube or led not sure yet for plant growth and even tho not required I'm really wanting to provide Uvb for her.
On the cool side against the front about 1/4 from the end will be a 16x16x12(H) water area for her to soak it this will be about 10 gallons of water that I want to plumb down to a sump to increase the volume. I'm going to plumb extra drains inside the water area and in the drainage area to make changing water very easy from the tank and sump(has to be changed often she loves to go poo. And to give lots of filtration to her water as well as make it no still stirring there.
All this will be made from 3/4 plywood and sealed with pond armor/shield
I'm posting all this for you guys to follow along and would really appreciate and help/advice anyone has for me I'm just trying to make the best area possible for her. She is about 4' long now. I'm going with 6' because of space restrictions in my apartment but in time will be moved to 8' long with same style set up
Tha k you everyone and please leave your comments it's been a lot trying to plan all this
