Girl get down

I've tried everything to keep her from rising to the heights but I think she's just a boa in disguise tbh

She hungers for warmth. This is why I avoid an enclosure with the lamp inside.

Don't think that's it, she only goes for the cage around the LED (left is LED right is DHP)

Omg lol! She just wants to climb. Maybe get her a sky hide? Mine loves his!! It was super easy to install and not that expensive, or you can easily diy your own!

Yeah I'm definitely gonna do that! I think she'll like it for sure

Give her more uppies options. I was having a similar issue and as soon as I have her safer ways to be closer to bask, she stopped trying to climb the fixtures

My girl did that a lot, I got her a sky hide and a vine that hangs from the top. It keeps her off the light fixtures...for the most part lol

I just put a camera and some rings up in mine’s enclosure. He LOVES to climb. He was climbing all over the rings and camera all night.

Do you just use ring cameras? I’m thinking about setting up cameras in my sand boa tanks

Someone on Reddit suggested I get the Blink 2, and I had planned on that, but a guy that works in IT at my work said he had an extra Panasonic HomeHawk HD that he gave to me so I set that up. Only set it up yesterday, but setup and vision is pretty good so far. I’m not super familiar with cameras and haven’t used it often enough to really say. But it was free so I took it lol

Haha IT guys are the greatest. My dad worked in IT when I was growing up. My siblings would often get new phones or computers that “fell off the truck”

Right now I have a camera that’s meant for colonoscopies (I’m not a doctor, I don’t know how it ended up in my possession). I could use that but surely there’s something better to use than a butt camera

Haha but it’s a free butt camera! 😂 you’ll find a use for it someday. Maybe something will fall down a deep dark (not butt) hole and you’ll find it’s useful! I’ve also heard they have cords and chargers galore, so I’ve been meaning to stop down there and take a few lol

I did use it one time!! A kitten crawled into my fiancés engine one time and I used it to see where they were.

I’m the type of person to collect random things (not in a hoarding way, I just picture myself as a wizard with his trinkets) My house always has some clutter and she isn’t always the happiest about it, but times like this make me remember why I hang on to some things.

Boom! See, there you go! Useful already 😂 guarantee you’re gonna be the hero with those random things that nobody has when it’s needed!
