My blueys new cage...

Tigergenesis Dec 03, 2004 10:37 AM

Here's my Boaphile setup (48x24x18) w/ awesome Quest Hides for my Blue Tongue Skink. My skink uses the ramps on the hide no problem. I had to 'train' her to use it by placing bits of leftover Thanksgiving turkey in a path up the ramp. Thanks for looking (and thanks Steve).

And here's my bluey soon after I put her in her new cage. I think she was overwhelmed at first but now she's loving it.

Tiger, that is a sweet setup. Where did you get the hides from? I wouldn't think a BT would crawl up there, but I guess all it took was a little training. Very nice.

Yeah, I was worried she wouldn't use them, but then I figured if she didn't I'd give the hides to my snakes. But it just took one time with the turkey and she caught on real quick! The hides are a design I came up with and had built by Steve Clark at Quest:

They work great except I should have nixed the front ramps and just gone with the side ramps, because the front ramps are too close to the front of the cage.
