It has been a while since I have been on here. I recently completed my enclosure. It is my first and I think it is pretty decent. Got a couple pictures of her shedding last night. Actually the first time that I have seen her do it. Then she decided to soak in the freshly cleaned water dish and take a massive dump in it.

Update on Athena: She is about 2 1/2 I think. She just reached 6ft recently and she weighs about 10 1/2 lbs. I honestly don't know enough about the specific subspecies but I would guess either BCC or BCI just due to how common and relatively low cost. She is a great snake and very gentle.

Wow!! Really nice snake. I love the solid stripe on her tail. How big is your enclosure? It appears enormous!

Beautiful snake and nice looking enclosure. Any chance you can give us a full shot of your enclosure? It looks like you did a very nice job and I'm sure folks here would love to see it.

Yeah, I'd love to see more pics of that enclosure. What are the specs on it? How are you heating it?

Well thank you for the responses and the encouragement. I already have a thread with some pictures of the build. Here is the link. http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/general-enclosure-discussion/102543-new-build.html

I will take more pictures eventually. I am always trying to think of things to do to make it a little nicer. As far as specs go it is roughly 8' long and a little less than 3' high in the enclosure part and roughly 30" front to back. I have a 160 watt RHP heating it. It works just fine I think it actually is a little overworked but so far its doing fine. I am thinking of putting in a heat mat but I don't need it. I am not finish carpenter so there is still plenty of imperfections. But for my skill set I am pretty damn happy with it. I'll get more pics of Athena when she decides to uncoil and stretch out a bit.
