    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I finally did it!

Well I finally put some time forth to finish my Cribo cage and it is done, let me know what you think.

It looks good David. Good job. Looks like plenty of room. BTW, did you seal the bottom of the enclosure? If you didn't you might want to for health considerations. Regards, Art.
 
David,
Not bad. What are the dimensions? The only thing I see wrong, right off the bat, is the light has no reflector, and looks to be too far away from the floor of the cage. I would reccomend a good digital proportional thermostat to control the heat output. Good luck,
T.
 
It is 6ft x 18" x 2ft (LxWxH), the light was just to light it up at the time, those things are useless and was a door prize at Tampa. Thanks for the comments.

Very good then. He should thrive in that. For Cribos, you are probably better off with heat panels instead of lights anyway. Just personal preference, since most Cribos don't bask much. Or at least mine don't. They do need a thermal gradient of some kind, with a warm spot, say 85-90 and a cool area, say 72-78. Give him options within these parameters, and he will thrive. They do like to climb, and they do like to hide way up high if they can. Their arboreal nature is evident in their body from, and behaviours I have noticed. If you make a smaller hide box, inside the dark end, or securely fasten a plastic box with some damp sphagnum in it, with a nice smooth hole in in it, onto the ceiling of the dark end, I guarantee,...he'll love you for it. And the sphagnum moss has other benefits as well. You will see better, brighter, healthier looking skin. He will glow after he sheds. The moss also has anti bacterial/antifungal qualities as well. By the way, you have some good looking cribos. Put me on your list for a pair of babies. Keep up the good work, and you will have some some day, maybe sooner than you think. And then you can experience the joys of caring for multiple baby drymarchon. WOOPYDOOPY!!! The endless poop machines,.pinky processors. Enjoy!
