Hello everyone, as some of you may know I have recently acquired an Animal Plastics cage for my first boa. I am 90% complete. I have my herpstat set up and have a nice temp gun to see if my heat panel will provide a good hot spot and ambient temperature.
Here are some pictures of it now. I have jungle vine and wood coming in on Wednesday si the look isn't totally done, but I think it is coming along nicely. The substrate is coco husk, and the plants are from an art supply store (all have been inspected for wires and properly sanitized)
One question: Is it okay for plastic or "silk" plants to stay in contact with the radiant heat panel? Its surface temperature has not exceeded 130 degrees. I do not believe it is hot enough to cause a fire or meant the plants but I want to see if anyone has opinions. I rather not have that plant on the hide smushed looking if it really can touch.
