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.

I work at the pet store where I get the feeders so I make sure she gets the finest of the feeders we have available, she doesn't get any fish off the sales tank, only out of the backroom sump where we keep the water at a much higher quality. And the 75 is currently the fish holding tank since she seems to hate it and greatly prefers her 6qt shoebox (especially at night) but I do have a feeling once the tank is more planted and the water is a bit more to her liking she'll grow to love it. I am also noticing some white spot fungus around her nostril and lip, but she is going into shed and I've read it can be more noticeable around shedding time and if it doesnt go away she'll get a vet visit to see what can be done.

Just finished the tank setup, I realized she was getting stressed about about how deep the water was in the original setup so I drained the tank down to about 6" of water and put a heater on it to get it to about 80-82 degrees I also put a couple plants in there but I plan on adding quite a few more

looks decent. Hopefully she should feel a bit more secure there. With the appetite she has, I cant imagine how much it will cost to feed her as she grows even bigger!!!

Why dont you add in some conditioned driftwood and slate outcroppings? Looks pretty bare still. You should then be able to raise the water levels to keep it more balanced.

I did plan on adding driftwood by hadn't thought of slate, it's a good idea though, I'll shop around and see if I can get some from somewhere local.

So the tax return has come and gone and I decided to go with the Asian Vine Snake instead of the camera, but it turns out that was a good decision. As I'm learning more about this girl I'm finding out that she is REALLY nocturnal, she crams herself into a corner of her cave all day and refuses to come out. However as soon as the last light goes off in the room (no matter the time) she comes out and roams around, but as soon as a light turns on she clings to a piece of driftwood and wont move. And I don't think a go-pro camera has night vision so the video would be a long boring video of her in a corner I've had to watch her at night with a flashlight and she even rears away from the small light of the flashlight, so their eyesight must be better then I had thought. Also I've made the final adjustments to her cave adding 2 pieces of African driftwood and a rock cave instead of that huge (ugly) hidebox. The water is still a bit cloudy and I don't want to add any chemicals to make it to make it clear (they may be fish safe but who knows if their aquatic snake safe) so I added a small carbon filter yesterday and I will post pictures when the water has cleared a bit.

You're right I don't think a Go Pro would pick up much at night.
Re her shying away from the flashlight, if you can get hold of some red cellophane or translucent plastic, tie it over the end of your flashlight, or put a red light bulb in a table lamp.
She probably can't see red light, so you'll be able to look at her all night long!

So here is the final tank setup, she seems to like it a lot. She loves the cave especially.

She's doing great! The growth rate is impressive to say the least, she has had 3 sheds since January, the first was 16.5 inches in January, the second was 19 inches in March, and the third was 25 Inches as of yesterday! I stepped up her food size to 4-6 inch comets after she ate an 8 inch comet I aptly named megalo-comet, it looked like she had a watermelon in her for 2 weeks LOL!
