Come on, come out of here buddy, you’ve got a dirty cage, man. He likes to come charging out the cage, because he’s the boss of his cage. He just comes right out after me all the time, which is fun because he’s not a deadly snake. Indigos are normally pretty chill snakes, but you can see this guy has a crazy feeding response. He’s a colubrid, and he has a crazy feeding response when he’s in his cage. This is an Eastern Indigo, has this dry mark on, couperi, that is the scientific. There’s Texas Indigos, there’s a bunch of different kinds of Indigos. I actually think that he’s going to like this a lot better, because their burrow instincts, not going to say burrow instincts but they stay on the floor down here. So let’s get this cage cleaned up, and then we’ll just take this guy out. He’ll just have a nice light bottom, and then dark, dark snake on top of it. Honestly I think he’s going to look really cool on a lighter substrate. I’ll switch this guy over to this, because he’s a nice, dark, jet black snake. Right now he’s on cocoa bark, I’m actually going switch this guy to, I think this is– What is this, pine, aspen? I’m going to spray this thing down with chloride X, clean it up. It makes it very easy to get in here and maintenance the tank. Another thing about these cages, to remove the glass, it is super easy, you just lift up, just like this. So let’s get this cage set up, I’m going to take this glass off. All these cages have wide strips and metal mesh along the top to make sure that there’s plenty of air flow for these guys. Because Vision cages are ventilated great. I’m going to put some vents on the sides of these cages, so that way these things are ventilated better. So I went on Amazon and I ordered these better vents that allow way more air flow. Those vents are barely open, and they don’t allow a lot of air flow. These cages, you see these vents in these CS cages, these vents suck. What I like about these cages and what I do not like about these cages. I have a big LED strip that goes along that back cage, or that back vent. I’ve got a thermometer so I can make sure that the basking area of this cage gets the ample temperature that they need. See right here, this is recessed down, it’s got a metal screen on the bottom, so you can just put a heat fixture inside of here. These ones, they have a sunken in part right here. So these cages are over 15 years old.ĭude, this is what I love about Vision cages, they’re awesome. He has had these cages since we worked at Underground 15 years ago. These cages actually, these ones right here in particular, I bought them the other day from my buddy, Brian, who I used to work at Underground Reptiles with. I got these new four foot Visions, this is model 422 of the Visions, sliding glass, awesome. So it’s got the same amount of square feet pretty much, but today we’re moving. This is a three foot Vision, but it’s deeper than those other cages. He did very well in there, and this is pretty much about the same size. Before, I had him out when I first got him, I kept him out in my living room in the cage that Little Foot is in, my water monitor. Right now I have him in this three foot Vision. I haven’t even looked at it in forever, so it’ll be cool to see how big he’s gotten. I’m going to go back and try to find some old footage for you guys of when I first got him. He’s been in many videos obviously, he’s a great snake, but he’s getting big. I’m pretty sure I’ve only done one video on Indigo so far. Tyler: Probably about a year ago, when I first got them. I put a video out, oh man, how long ago was it? Probably a year ago, right? I want to say a year ago. Today I’m giving the Indigo snake a new cage. I already went over this with you guys, we’re getting there. In the meantime, I’m going to redo this stands. It’s still going to probably be about month before I get those cages. They got to put them into production, ship them out. I’m still waiting on a bunch of cages from Vision, and it’s going to take a minute. I’m just making it more doper, is that a word? Whatever, I’m using it. I already got a flier over there Kayla got me, I’m just going to make the room look cool. Put a poster over there, put a poster over there. Got this off of the good old Amazon, North American snakes. Welcome to the freaking show.Ĭheck this out.
