This makes me laugh-just the synchronicity. I just finished starting to set up my 8x2x3 enclosure for my boa, and I also bought Lumenize UVB to try it out with my Beardie. I also transitioned to heat inside.
You are so incredibly blessed in that you can put this all together and that Apex was so generous! I am just in awe of the enclosure and the fact that Anu is getting so much incredible space! She's going to love it and I think she's going to have the hole thing mapped out soon, but she has a lot of space to explore! You all enjoy!
Cool looking enclosure, I may have to try one someday. You explained the process really well! I'm looking forward to seeing how the hardscape all comes together! you got a new sub 🤘💯🤘
What an honor!! Thank you for the inspiration and how well you explained your process. I’m finally feeling like the end is in sight with the hardscape- and have seriously renewed appreciation for how much work you put into your builds. It’s not easy!
That enclosure is SO BIGGGGG hahaha. Anu will have a heyday in there 😂 especially with the rocks you're going to make her! You'll have to let us know what her activity looks like in such a big space. Such great presentation and useful detail as usual!! Excited for Pt. 2! Those enclosures really do look top notch, functionally and aesthetically. Hope you were able to get all of Ume's hair taken care of 😆if only dogs could shed in one clean go, like snakes. Is Ume yours, John's, or both?? Do you guys have pets besides Ume and the snakes??
Thank you! the build out of the rocks has been INTENSE... so much so that I'm still working on it and probably will be for at least another week, and then have to make sure it all is cured and such before I put her in there. But I'll absolutely be sharing her response! I got Ume before John and I were together, but she's definitely OUR dog now- she's daddy's girl for SURE :) Just the snakes and dog and some fish/planted tanks. That's QUITE enough!
@@Snake_Therapy you're welcome! I remember the picture you posted working on the rocks...intense indeed 😂 that's super fun :) Ume seems like a sweet girl 🐶
Couple questions for you... for the Lumenize bars, have you found a cage/lamp guard that fits them? I've heard they are taller than the regular Arcadia lamps. Also, have you had experience with Apex Cages' sliding door vs swing out doors and thoughts/experience with the differences? 🐍
1) I don't use the lumenize LED bars, just the lumenize UVBs. You shouldn't need cages over the LEDs at all. They don't get hot enough to harm. 2) Yes, I do. The first review I did on Apex (there's a vid on that- it should be linked somewhere in the vid) was for the Sliders. Although the viewing is larger, I prefer the swing down 100%, and besides, I think they stopped making the sliders. They have made improvements to the swing downs- you can now choose sizes, to increase viewing size or substrate depth. Sliders are also not a good option if your snake is a baby or small colubrid, as they can injure themselves trying to squeeze through. And it's easier to clean if you have swing out/down doors, too. Hope that helps! here's the slider review: ruclips.net/video/5hlDazaEgAo/видео.html

I AM so blessed. So very grateful. And so happy I am able to offer her a better life.
oooo that IS such a large house for a kingsnake :-))) hope you have a great time with it!
Thank you!! I know I'm so excited for her. She deserves it. 😊
You are ambitious but also so capable! One amazing lady!!! Seeing your husband and Ume in the video was an unexpected treat for me!
Haha I bet!! ❤ And thank you!!

@bradsbioactivebuilds how long do you wait for the drylok to cure before it's safe to put the animal in the enclosure?
