New Enclosure- (Norm BCI) Hade's Paradise! *DU Warning *Got Decorations?

[NycFlip22]

If I can't impress anyone with my BCI, then maybe my enclosure will make up for it?

Instead of buying a female hypo or EBV Red Group I spent money on Hade's Enclosure. I'm not sure of my future plans towards the enclosure..I have an idea but it's a secret.

Here's my 7mo old Columbian BCI Hades.

Enjoy the pics:

That looks very nice! Picture perfect! You spent a lot of time on that and BTW Hades is a great looking snake

I counted 4 types of substrate. Wow don't envy you come cleaning day when he gets larger.

dude, thats awesome! I would advise you to get some different guages, aka digital, to supplement the ones you have. They can be a little off. very impressive looking cage though.

I think Hades is spoiled in that habitat.

	Boa Constrictor Imperator Boa Constrictor (Boa constrictor imperator). Most common is the Colombian Boa.

nice enclosure. I don't think the flip down location of the door is all that practical unless you have the cage off of the ground so that it can swing /all/ the way down and out of the way..?

looks good though.

That is an adorable little snake. My snakes are jealous of that enclosure. What a great enclosure, and thanks for posting instructions. Some day I may wake up feeling handy.... The tiles (linoleum I think) were a great idea.

Thanks a lot.

I use Aspen, that Cocunut shell thing, and moss.
Cleaning won't be too hard since Hades only poops and urinates when I soak him...I soak him every at least every two weeks.

Thank you. This enclosure got me broke and Im using the rest to buy my girl a sulcata lol.
I'm gettin gauges at the next herp show. The ones I have now are doing fine because I move them around to get an estimate of which spots are hotter and by how much.

besides my last response about him eliminating, it hasn't been long enough to clean. I'll see how it goes. Its hard enough finding him lol

Thank you.

Yea, I wanted to name him either Hades or Hypnos. Maybe my next male wil be Hypnos. I noticed yours was Hades in my other thread

I was thinking of that but I don't think Homedepot have the glass tracts or w/e. Maybe for my next one I'll do that. I do find it a little hard BUT I COULDN'T use sliding doors because I would've have been able to fit my driftwood there unless I put it there permanently lol

Thank you If you have any questions, feel free to ask anytime.

Speaking of the tiles, I was going to go crazyyyyy and build a rock wall out of styrofoam...

Then I decided to buy plywood and use the Stone Texture/Look spray paint but then i'd need like $50 worth of spray cans..

So the last option was the tile lol...I guess it came out pretty well..

	Suriname Redtail Boa Red Tail Boa Constrictor (Boa constrictor constrictor) from the locale of Suriname. Considered to be a "True" Red Tail.
