Question for Boaphile Owners...

Robert Apr 01, 2006 04:04 AM

I recently received 2 new boaphiles from Jeff...421d I believe...Anyway, only one of the cages heat tape seems to be working...I hooked them up to my thermostat, started checking temps after a few hours and one cage was still at room temp on the heat while the other was at the desired temp...So I raised the temp on the thermostat just to see if the room temp cage would rise and nothing...I then proceeded to plug the heat tape directly into the wall, no thermostat. Still, nothing...Just wondering if there were any tricks to get the heat tape working and if that is what those little silver things included with that cages are for?? I will contact Jeff unless one of you guys have an easy fix that I can do while waiting for a good time to contact him...

FYI: No snakes have made it inside these cages yet

One of the cages is the future home of the female below

Thanks alot,
Robert Remendowski

Sounds like your flexwatt is not working. I suggest you just give Jeff a call....he'll fix the problem for you.

stacking the units. There should be two holes on top of the 421D's. Best of luck!

I have not done any bus with him but I actually spoke to him this pass Friday and he is a very nice guy.
