Great Video Topic !! Like that more people are making videos on proper size for giant snakes and what they feel comfortable in not what people think is right ! Good video love your content keep pushing forward !! Don’t stop lol 😆

Really cool build for your boa! Great details on how to make it secure!

Wow. Your enclosure was drastically cheaper than the 5x3x6 I just bought for my snake 😮

0:32 what an intro. Pretty badass, i subbed

[PeeplesPlaceRescue]

I'm building the same thing right now. Four door china cabinet. For a bci also. How cool!

[Beeplabeep]

Love your intro! I can feel the passion and care

I love your new Boa imperator enclosure! It must be one the most inspiring things I have seen for a long time - it is eco-friendly, good-looking and perfect for a snake. Linoleum on the bottom is a good idea, but how about the interior walls? Have you protected them with some special lacquer/varnish or do they stand the moisture as they are?

Gotta say charlie's paper substrate Isn't nearly as elegant as his new habitat! Maybe make an exception and go for a lip and some Forest Floor, or possibly heat-absorbing slate tiles in there, especially since he's potty trained to his water bowl? 😁😉😀

This was cool to watch, its giving me some ideas, thanks!

[pumpkinchow]

One of my male monitor does that as well rite before he tries to eat what ever he’s smelling but great video definitely enjoyed watching 👏🏻

I have an 8ft male boa constrictor that is in dire need of an upgrade! This is a great build idea!! Great work!! Do you provide your snakes with UV lighting? I know there is much debate on this topic but I thought I’d at least get your thoughts on it. I have an indoor grow area for my vegetable garden and I have noticed that my boa gravitates towards that light when it’s on.

[Dovietail]

Ventilation? Do you do cross vents, high-low, what?

[lennylen]

Both my Boas poop in there water dish! I think that’s so easy to clean. 👍🏼 i’m building both my boa enclosures now, in something similar!👍🏼🔥🔥

Hi!
I’m currently building my own right now, , but I’m unsure if the wood will rot, did you coat your wood with something or just have a humid hide? Thank you! Awesome video

[stevetrent]

Curious to how you feed in the China hutch?? If you feed
I’m enclosure, if so does
It matter where in enclosure he is at feeding time? Have large
China cabinet enclosure for my 5.5 ft Boa so just curious how you do feeding. Thanks for any advice or replies.

Hey, I have my 1 male retic, and I need to build a bigger enclosure of which I want to have naturalistic elements and decent size what size would you recommend as I plan to keep him in it for at least 2-3 years..

Niles was sizing up the monitor on your t-shirt!🤓
I do have a question, what is your personal recommendation for the "best" first snake? We've had geckos and a bearded dragon, and have been researching snakes for years (literally). I'm asking as many hobbyists before making any decisions. Thank you kindly!

You're DIY enclosure is genius. There are so many such furniture pieces available at antique malls, yard sales, Goodwill, etc.

[moloissolo]

Where do you get the heating source from sir? I’ve been looking and I can’t seem to find that one you have

[summerjustice]

Just curious if there’s ventilation and how you keep the humidity up? My husband and I are looking at making a larger house for my bci.

I’ve recently got my black and white tegu that I’ve wanted for ever I’m feeding him every two days he loves chicken and strawberries sometimes I’ll give him a rat pup FT of cores I’m trying to gain his trust any tricks you might know you could share thank you and love your videos.
