So, I would like to share what happens if you are sold an enclosure that was not built properly. Please learn from my mistake.
This was my Motley het Kahl, she was a 5 year old proven breeder. I had bought 3 enclosures, thinking I was going to upgrade 2 of my growing snakes and offer her more room. The enclosures looked amazing and I was excited that I was giving my animals larger living quarters. I spent $1275 for 3 custom built 4'x2'x2'. Little did I know one was going to be a death trap.
First I placed my reticulated python in the faulty enclosure, he went from being a great eater and very active to very lethargic within a week. I thought it was just because it was a high traffic area in the living room and he had been in our bedroom. I figured he was stressed, so I switched to my boa. She had been in my living room before so I knew she would acclimate fine. A week goes by, she took a meal. She's moving around and doing well. 2 weeks, she's also becoming lethargic and started twisting. I immediately removed her and asked my boyfriend to smell te enclosure. He said it smelled like chemicals. (My sense of smell is shot from covid) I informed the builder, as to which he claimed no responsibility and tried charging a fee for a replacement. Luckily I received a refund but I lost 5 years of time, effort, love and affection I put into this animal. I was devastated, I had her since she was a yearling. And most of all, her life was lost from something I could have avoided. So please, research enclosures. Buy from a reputable source. Vision Products, Animal Plastics and Boaphile are great places to buy a quality enclosure from and the only places I will purchase from in the future.

This is wrong on so many levels. They threw them in garbage bags. Murdered a pet. Why??? Why would these people agree to butcher these animals??
