There is one thing I noticed: they don't poop in the moist hides. None of them ever have. On top of yes, but not actually down in them.
I'm still trying to figure out something sturdy enough and big enough for the big pythons to use as a moist hide >.> I can't really just build a plywood one, it won't hold up to the moisture I don't think. The large rubbermaids don't seem to be sturdy enough--I've tried it, they got tore up pretty good fairly quick. I'm trying to find someone local that works ABS plastic that could custom do something but no luck yet. Maybe metal would work, something anodized so it doesn't rust?
My colubrids tend to have big cages relative to length--I like my kings in cages about as long as they are by about 1/2 that wide. Which means I'm about to spend $$$$ on housing for them as they outgrow the CB70s. Oh well. I'm leaning towards 4x2 or 5x2s for the floridas. They certainly do use the space though, no question about that.
My big pythons I'm looking for someone that can do 10-14' cages...I think I have a source. But this damn building I'm working on getting in has to get done first and now the city's telling me one witht hat square footage has to have a permanent foundation >< Yay for adding a few grand to the cost.
