Hey another great video!my boa has escaped a couple times by sliding the glass open when I have forgotten to put the lock on after feeding,I would advise to get a lock as they are very intelligent animals
I would definitely reinforce the doors on your cage. I think Vendetta will be able to push the door open eventually. Josser’s Jungle has a video called Snake Escape Proofing I would check out. It was really helpful for me. I hope you get well soon!
For the lid issue, I don't know how well this would work for you but it worked on a 10 gallon tank with a screen lid that I have. So you take some industrial strength velcro (you can get it by the yard at Joann's or prepackaged). Velcro has a hook side (the prickly side) and a loop side (the soft side). You take a piece of the loop side and stick it to the lid, then another piece of the loop side and stick it to the glass. Then you take a long strip of the hook side and stick it to a piece of fabric or something that looks nice and use that piece to connect the two loop peices on the door and the lid. If you do it near each corner it will make it so the lid can't be lifted and it might also make it so those doors don't slide either. Then you just remove the long hook piece of velcro when you need to open the cage, and stick it back on when you close it. I hope I described that right, I think I found the idea on Reddit so you might be able to find it with images that make more sense.
Note, make sure it's industrial strength. I can literally lift my entire 10 gallon by the lid and the adhesive on the velcro holds if you use large enough pieces.
I am a new subscriber...Do you happen to have a video on where you get or what brands of enclosures you like or recommend? Love the videos:) I am a snake fanatic lol ball pythons are some of my fav! LOVE your plants by the way!
ILLUM• LIFE Thank you so much and welcome to the channel!!! I highly recommend zen habitats enclosures! I’ve done a couple reviews on them. They have a new pvc enclosure that would be perfect for ball pythons! 🐍💕✨
Hey! Really thinking about getting a boa soon as I already have a ball python. I'm kind of stuck on the enclosure though as all I can find is wooden ones. Would a heat light be better for a boa or always a heat matt? Thanks!
Jennie LC Wood is perfectly fine but you’ll have to use silicone for all the corners so that the humidity don’t make the wood bend and what not. Best to use a ceramic heat emitter and use a pulse thermostat.
And that is a beautiful setup. I love sliding doors. If you do a search they make locks you can put on them so they wont open without you wanting them to.
@@reptiliangarden Awesome! always nice when a friend helps ya out. I just got a 40B front opening from a friend for my new ball python and he is so happy about having all the room.
maybe use silicone to keep the lid on the tank? run a bead along the perimeter and then press the lid down, and use weights while it cures. of course, the tank wouldn’t be able to be occupied while this happened.
Happy new year! Cool enclosure. Good on ya BF for taking great care. My corn snake once escaped the way you described. So yea it is possible. In order to avoid it best use a lock or a paper clip you unfold and shape it into an s like form and put it between the doors. Not very child proof obviously though ;-)
Love the updates! For the glass doors u can buy locks for them or door jams to stop them from opening them easily u can even make ur own there a few tutorials on TH-cam on how. For the piece in the back that pops in and out that u currently have taped u could easily silicone that in place to make it safe. Same with the lid possibly. Just some ideas :)
Hi my boyfriend and I love watching your channel, we also have a bunch of reptiles and your videos have given us a bunch of great advice! He’s been watching you since pretty early on, and we’ve seen pretty much all of your videos. So anyway my boyfriend has a crested gecko and loves him but he doesnt exactly return the favor and tends to bite him a bunch and I know he’d love to have one he could potentially hold and have a better bond with. His birthday is also on Christmas and I was wondering if you were thinking of selling the new baby gecko at all? Because I would really love to buy him for my boyfriend as they share the same birthday and it’d be awesome to be able to have one that was bred by you! I’d love to hear back from you and can’t wait to see what videos you come up with next!
I really appreciate the setup on boas cause as u know I want one so bad, I thought about the Brazilian rainbow boa like I told u but I find the humidity part really insane but well see I'm think about a sunglow boa, question what would be recommended as baby? And for adult for the enclosure? I normally do tanks so I can e joy seeing my snake but is a TV or pvc enclosure better or bins?
Jay Robles It’s totally up to you! All of them do the job. Just make sure they have enough space to move around! The babies are very active little snakes.
If your room temps are cool, then glass cages can be difficult to keep warm, especially with screen lids. PVC/plastic cages tend to be better in cool rooms, as are tubs.
I looked at that same enclosure for my snake (great comparative price, size, and lightweight), but it really is an enclosure best suited for bearded dragons (it is also not recogmended for high humidity, per the seller). Adult bearded dragons is what it was originally designed for. So I decided against it. But hey, if I got it as a gift...I would make it work, lol!
Those Zen enclosures are great, but you are correct - they are more suited to bearded dragons than big tropical snakes. I would lay a piece of 3/4 inch thick plywood over all or most of the screen top and weight it down. Cut holes for heat domes.
I absolutely love and enjoy watching your videos. You give out some good advice. I am going to sub to your channel so I hope to get one back. :) By the way, my favorite snake is also Boa Constrictors. I have two Boas at the moment and got my dream one two months ago! She is a four month old Suriname. Anyways, I hope you the best with your animals and so fourth! God bless. 😊
Wow a boyfriend that buys you new enclosures ... that’s what I call goals!

Matthew Spurdle My friend is going to give her hers since she doesn’t use it 😅
With sliding doors I like to add a lock on it so they can't move.
Steffany Ingle Thank you!

Jackie Armstrong Thank you so much! I’ll be adding a lock soon 💕
Nice setup, which reminds me that I really need to upgrade my Suriname boa Faye. Thanks for sharing.
Cecilia Fernandez Thank you so much! 💕
@@reptiliangarden you're welcome ✨
My Brazilian rainbow boa passed away yesterday 😔
Alycia Michelove I’m so sorry. Sending love your way. 💕💕💕
Great video! Are you gonna use his old enclosure for another snake? Love from Spain
jh jh Thank you so much! I actually sold it to my friend! She’ll be turning it into a huge tokay enclosure

Thank you so much! I’ll have to look into that! That sounds perfect!
I think you have an imperator,on what temp and humidity are u keeping it?

What kind of boa is this is it hypo ?
Where did you get Metamora
Ella Knause From Curious Creatures in Chicago
I am sick too but I hope you feel better
Hey I love your videos and I have a ball python and I’m going to try to get a Central American boa soon
For the top, you could possibly bend coat hangers into clasps and attach them on the sides. Might work. Does your bf weld?
I hope you had a wonderful holiday! Im glad to be part of the early crew to be first lol
ReptileRoger You too! Thank you!! 😘😘😘
And that is a beautiful setup. I love sliding doors. If you do a search they make locks you can put on them so they wont open without you wanting them to.
ReptileRoger Thank you! My friend told me that yesterday and she’s giving me her extra one! So I’m really excited about it 😅💕

Love it!!! ❤️ Maybe I missed it, but I don’t think you showed Bowie’s enclosure in the tour at the end. Is she doing okay? Happy new year!!!!
aralyn rivers She’s doing great! Her enclosure is below vendettas. Happy new year to you too!! 💕💕💕
Sweet baby gecko! Gratz on the new enclosure to!!🐍❤️!
Thomas Van Ostrand Thank you!!! 💕
maybe use silicone to keep the lid on the tank? run a bead along the perimeter and then press the lid down, and use weights while it cures. of course, the tank wouldn’t be able to be occupied while this happened.
Mary Webb Thank you! That’s definitely what I’ll do

Oliver Stein My friend is lending me her lock! 😅💕
Do you know what morph vendetta is? I have been trying to figure out what mine is.
Taylor Hice Boa morphs are so confusing. He’s a hypo jungle! 💕
Reptilian Garden Ahh ok. Like mine has a really orangey/mauvey undertone. I got him from craigstlist and the kid had no clue about anything helpful.

Since they were born on christmas day, PLZ name the new baby Noel!!

That cage is way to big for that small boa. It will get extremely stressed.
When u want a amazing enclosure check out customcages!
Nice
