Idea for a video: the nitty gritty of UVB. The different types of bulbs, the different ways to install the fixtures,different strengths, what distance and mesh tops do to the UVB, amd what all this means for the end keeper. All in a fun easy to understand package.

I know this is super off-topic, but I absolutely love your crown molding in your house just below the ceiling! I bet your home is very lovely! I mean you set up the homes for reptiles nice, but I’m sure you don’t fill up your bathtub with mosses to keep the humidity up!😅

Try Nyx lice shampoo diluted 50% in water soak the animals the rinse with lukewarm water. Take everything out of the enclosure and soak it in the nyx. spray the tank with the nyx mixture and wipe it out. Put down paper towel and return the animals to the enclosure. Any live plants will need to be disposed of and replaced. Do this every 3-4weeks for about for 2 months and the mites should be gone. Been using this method for 15 years without fail nor harm to my animals. *PS do not do this for amphibians and remove any insects or arachnids from the room during and for 24/hrs after treatment.**

I found that the best way to deal with mites is to get the predatory type mites. Tarrus mites they are called I believe. It cleared all my snakes out within a week! As well as my friends too. They are expensive but honestly if you go for them from the start they are an absolute best. They die out once snake mites are all gone as they have no more food.

Adam I can't remember. Have you done any videos on DIY enclosure builds? Not set up videos. I'm talking about building the actual enclosure itself from pieces of lumbar or whatever else you might use. Or even repurposing old shelves or cabinets. I think that would be super cool, especially for people interested in large reptiles.

I love your videos; you could literally make anything, and I would watch the video. A lot of people would hate me but if I lived closer to you, or let alone in the same country, I would give you one of my CB Boelens babies Unsexed. I hate how much companies charge for them or the monopoly companies. I haven't established myself as a dedicated breeder, I work another job. So my pair laid eggs something like 2 months ago, not even intending to produce eggs but they did and all but 1 egg hatched and I never see creators like yourself make videos on Boelens in depth. They make amazing pets and honestly are so great to handle, very rarely defensive. I hope one day you make a video about them, so you and your following can see and maybe break the stupid price on such an amazing animal. Thank you for all your hard work.

So many things my guy. I am a fan that you are out there giving practical advise. I think the hobby needs some more. Some more of everything. Rain, wind, plants, encloses that are taller to accommodate grasses. Grasses are tough enough to take Mushu trampling and digging once established of course.

When I went to get him he was in his hide a pcb pipe, the sanctuary "snakelady"said it will come out and gave me the pipe. It did come out once when we got it home, it's been 5 days it will not come out, I'm supposed to feed today, help !!! Please

depends on how fast they grow. by three years old usually you'll need to upgrade

Great build. But for a newbie reptile keeper who doesn't have the convenience of having someone give them an enclosure, have back-up substrate on hand, and has big branches and bricks in their yard (or lack there-of if they live in an apartment), and doesn't have their own green house with reptile safe plants, and isopods. So maybe just tweaking the title to "How I Built THIS Enclosure For Almost No Money." Otherwise, great set-up. I'm sure Mushu is loving it.
