Could those with photos of their enclosures please post them? I just rescued an adult red tail (7 feet long) and I want to redesign her cage and give her a place to climb. I need ideas and would like to see what other have done.

Also, I need ideas on how to raise the temp in the enclosure. It's a 6 foot long by 4 feet tall by 3 feet wide cage made out of melamine. It has a glass front with only one screened area in the roof where I have room for only one lamp. The boa came with a 100 CHE. But it's only getting her enclosure to about 75 degrees. I need it to be hotter. If I put in a basking lamp I will have to turn it off at night and screw the CHE back in. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Sorry no photos, but I would recomend getting some radient heat panels for a cage that size. I live in a very old house and it gets darn cold in my living room. The boa cage hat I have in the Liv room stays nice and toasty with the heat panels. I couldn't get the heat right with anything else I tried. Beanfarm.com has good ones and great prices.
