    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.

    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....

For those that own AP cages a few questions

I'm looking into getting 4 and 6 foot AP cages for my blood pythons. I've been using vision cages with heat bulbs and haven't been satisfied. How easy are the AP cages to clean? Any problem areas? I was planning on using flexwatt for heating, but heard it doesn't bring up the ambient temp. The temp in my snake room is 73. Would I use 3" or 11" tape and do you apply to the full length of the cage or only a section? When stacking the cages can the heat tape just be sandwiched in between the cages? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
I think you need to up the overall temp of your snake room. start at 80 and go from there.
this may seem a little warm but I have better results with flexwatt and undertank heaters with this ambient temp. As far as the flexwatt width and placement,you need a hot side of the enclosure. Try running it up the back side of your cages( using flexwatt vertically) to 1/3 of the enclosure. As far as "sandwiching heat" people might disagree with me but I say dont do it! This creates a convection effect possibly leading to overheat(burning your animals or even melting your cages. I hope this helps
