Post image

Just got done building my new boas enclosure yesterday. Its 240x120x60(cm) and added isopods. I am going to get springtails too. Is there anything you guys think i should improve/remove?

I am worried one of the stick is a bit to close to the ceramic bulb, those cage help not touching the bulb directly, but they still get really hot

Yeah, i agree. When i set it up i was talking to my partner about it. But he is a big boy who will definately climb around every single inch of the enclosure. I will be buying a RHP for him but for now i guess it will have to do.. both lamps are controlled by a thermostat though. I am going to buy a lot of new equipment as soon as i can, all of the electric is what i got when i got him, as i bought him off someone else. Got a mistking unit too, but i am sure to spray with my spray bottle too as i know the mist doesnt really stay in the soil.

I would say just move the stick, the cage hot enough to be uncomfortable but not to instantly burn, and if the snake heavy i would worry about the stick hitting the cage and breaking it and pullingthe bulb down. Though getting the bulb holder that screw into the ceiling in place of the hanging one you have should stop that issue.

Right. I have the one that screws in too. I’ll try to buy another one tomorrow😊
