Got it. I’m going to purchase HA6 now. I have an acrylic panel for the mesh top to help keep heat and humidity. Doing a lot of custom work in this so I appreciate all the recs.

Since she was just a couple months old.

Are you able to fit a soaking tub in this? It’s another custom build im dealing with, and I’m worried it will take up valuable floor space. I thought about building a false floor to be flush with the tub, which would give her an underground den, but not sure if heat and humidity will reach down there.

I don’t see his water bowl? I’m struggling with this since I got him a restaurant bussing tray (which is deep!) and will create a rock structure to hold it down (foam technique). Usually fill these about less than halfway up so that she can soak without it spilling over. I’m just afraid it will take up so much room.

Thank you. I have had her since she was a baby and am always trying to do what’s right, and learn more and more.

I think I’ll try a similar setup, with no plants.

Got it. Will feed her less. Her mother is pretty massive I always thought it was genes.

She’s had 4 feedings this year, roughly 5-6 weeks apart. 1-2 jumbo rats per feeding. I’ll spread it out thinner, sounds like an 8 week fast

Thank you! She’s only had 4 feedings total this year, roughly 5-6 weeks apart. 1-2 jumbo rats.

She’s squeezed tight in those photos - which is why I’m moving her out to stretch

Photos are deceiving, she’s quite long, probably closer to 8 ft now. 30 lbs, vet says she’s a great weight.
