New Cage, Plz Help
Well there shall be a Maine expo come August, yippy! Well anyway I intend to get a female bci, or bcc if my wallet has enough for a 250.00 snake. And so I figured summer vacation is comming soon, why not finish that 5x2x2 cage that's been un-finished for nearly 5 months? So I have a few question before I begin construction again. Well first of all is 3 100 watt bulbs enough to heat this cage? One will be places on the right end directly over the hide, the other two will be all the way on the other side of the cage side by side. It'll give a gradient I hope without letting the temperature get too low. And i plan on putting a heat pad under the hide so it won't need to sacrifice heat for safety. Well should this work? I'm not really sure if that will be enough to keep the cage warm. It's made of plywood painted with about 4 coats of white paint, not to mention the layer of primer. So they question also comes to mind, will that be enough to keep it from rotting? Iplan on sealing most of the edges with silicon or something. And the front is sliding plexi glass. I hope to get a 5-6 foot female to put in it, but I could always get a macklot's python off KS. I have really been wanting one for a while. So well anyway is the three 100 watts good enough to heat it? Will the wood rot even with the paint. And do you have any tips? I plan on misting the cage about 4 times a week just to give a humidity boost. Those 100 watts might dry it up quite a bit. Also, does anyone have pics of their boa, or python cages? Well ones that they made themselves. Should help me out a lot. Thanks in advance!
