Well Scubadude gave Pech a shiny new home yesterday so I decided it was time to move his sister Myrtle into a nice big 50L rub. She will be in a viv later when she's a bit bigger but here she is and a few pics of her new home 
In she goes...
Gone!
A couple of pics of her.

| Lol, you know what, those cakes are great as they come in a round plastic case inside the box. I wash it and cut a gap in it and it also makes a great hide. So I get to eat cake and get 2 new snake hides too! Result :D |

| It was a big bamboo concertina type garden thing, for plants to climb. Got it from the 99p shop! I just took it apart, washed all the bamboo sticks and sanded down any rough bits. :D |

Hi, both mine and scubadudes crawls are related. They came from a breeder who had them advertised on RFUK. This is her user name if you want to contact her: nyoka malkia
I paid £60 including deliver but that was a very good deal and they didn't last long at that price.
She is very friendly and has never hissed or struck out at me. Being a female she can get to 4-5ft but males are around 3-4.5ft I'm not really sure how chunky they get tbh, will have to wait and see but they are much stronger than corns and even at the size she is now she is so strong compared to a corn of the same size.
They are great little snakes and even though I have not had mine long I can highly recommend them, infact I wish I could get another but sadly I'm all done now with snake buying  |

| We have had a lot of debating over them , and narrowed it down to crawl cays , altho I like hogg islands I kno they can get chunky and that scares the missus abit . She wants one that's big enough but doesn't intimidate her . Are they nippy wen they are little too ? I've heard the setup is much the same as corns . Do they eat like pigs too ? We are debating male or female still . We have two male snakes and feeding is a little sketchy , whereas our female is a brill feeder at the min x |

Yeah, hoggs do get quite a bit bigger so a crawl is probably ideal for you. They can be hissy and nippy as babies but you have to be confident, hande them even when they nip and hiss and they will soon calm down. Setup is slightly different as boas like to climb about more so will enjoy vines and branches. They also need a higher warm end temp too and I have mine around 32c

Mind is changing on snakes I want now lol so am researching these to find out what would be best - Milk Snakes and Dwarf Boa possibly - Crawl Cay, Sonoran, Tarahumara or Vera Cruz and poss a Hoggie, African House and Rat snake. Also Trinket Snakes. |

I found her up high this morning!
I noticed her curled up in the plant on the right. Really shows how much they love to climb :D |

| Lou how long did it take you to sort out the bamboo and get it in? I want my snakes to have lots of things to climb on when they go into rubs, I seen bendy vine things in pets at home and was thinking using those sucker hook things and making like a zigzag kinda thing with the bendy vines |
