Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What I did as I got a melamine cage 6 months ago. I took 2 large pieces of slate tile, stuck the UTH to the tiles, caulked real good around the heat pad then bought small pieces of wood to raise the heat pad off the tile just enough to let the heat escape. I also used linoleum for the bottom of the cage, one big sheet. And caulked around all the edges twice with waterproof caulk. Its been working great!

Do you ever find the linoleum hard to clean if you don't wipe it up immediately?

I do too. Where it becomes a pain for me is if its pushed out of the way or if they spread it up the side of the enclosure. Do you use complete smooth linoleum or does it have small ridges or indentations? Know what I mean?

What do you mean if they spread it? The aspen shouldnt be wet... It wont stick then... I use one solid piece of smooth linoleum. If you make the aspen thick enough they wont get to the linoleum floor. I use about 12 quarts in mine.

Ok, let me explain. My caging is 5ft x 2ft on the floor, I use roughly about 4in of aspen. My female boas will "burrow" themselves down, that is when poo or urates gets to the bottom and sticks to the linoleum. What I meant by them "spreading" it, is when they poo up the side of the enclosure, either spreading it with there bodies or actually deficating with there tail going up the wall. It doesn't happen every day but it has. Other than those instances it has worked fine.
