Can ball pythons flatten their bodies to get out of enclosures?

July 28, 2010 - 12:34 am 4 Comments

I just got a ball python today and his enclosure has two clips that keep it shut. One of them is broken and there is a very, very small space that is left open. I’ve heard that they can flatten their bodies to get through small spaces, is this true?

Again a couple of 13 year old kids answer a question they know nothing about. Even go so far as to be mildly insulting to the asker as they spew B.S. Anyway, Ball Pythons are very crafty when i comes to escaping and YES they are extremely flexible animals. They are adapted to flex and move to allow large food to be swallowed whole. Mine has escaped from spaces so small that its hard to believe and once actually damaged his scales a little bit because he squeezed so tight. It is your responsibility as a reptile owner to make sure the cage is sealed well enough that they cant escape or hurt themselves trying. (I dropped the ball on this one). As a rule, and no matter what anyone else tells you, If the snakes head can fit through the opening its body will be able to follow. I know what it sounds like because Ball Pythons are so fat but ive witnessed it first hand. Sure up your cage. Your snake likely spends a few hours a night testing it for weak points(Its a thing most Ball Pythons do).
All of this information can be found online and in a variety of good books about keeping snakes.
Most of the other answers you been given can only be found in the minds and hearts of children.

What is the best book, or website guide to building speaker enclosures?

June 1, 2010 - 12:48 pm 2 Comments

Hi, I would like to build four surround speakers for my home theater. I am sure the enclosure will need to be built to certain specifications in order to sound pleasing. What is the best guide you know of to building speaker enclosures? I would prefer a book over website, but any information is helpful.

Thank you.

The Loundspeaker Design Cookbook is suppose to be the book by which all other DIY speaker building books are rated…Parts express is a very good site for speaker builders especially beginners Madisond is another..

Why do so many homes in Florida have pool enclosures?

May 1, 2010 - 2:16 am 2 Comments

I’ve been watching HGTV and I notice that almost all of the homes have pool enclosures, like sunrooms enclosing their pool areas. Why?

It keeps it from getting too hot, and the one’s with a screen are great for keeping bugs, frogs, snakes, and in some areas even alligators out of your pool. Much easier to maintain.

Maybe you could help me with mine. I could use a girl’s opinion, and I think you’ll have fun answering it!

What are the differences bt External Hard Drives and External hard drive enclosures?

April 23, 2010 - 4:13 am 2 Comments

My computers memory is not that big and i would like to expand the memory and I want a external hard drive but while i was browsing websites for external hard drives i saw a external hard drive enclosure. Now what is the difference between then and why is one so much cheaper than the other? And what are their functions? Like what does it do.

Let’s say you have and older, broken computer. You could pull the internal hard drive out, and put it inside an enclosure. Now you have an external drive, and you’re recycling your old drive, which is obviously more cost effective. The "enclosure" does NOT include an actual drive. It’s just a box to put a hard drive in, and make it USB.

How come some zoos never built a ceiling for greater flamingo enclosures?

Some greater flamingo enclosures in zoos never had a ceiling built. How about if the flamingos fly out and escape from the zoo? Are they trained not to escape as there are free food in zoos?

They have clipped wings. The wings are surgically cut to prevent flight. We used to do the same thing with ducks and geese on farms.

What is the stuff called outside of subwoofer enclosures?

March 22, 2010 - 3:17 pm 1 Comment

the material stuff because i was going to make my own enclosure so i can put neon around it and have it go to the beat.

Installer.com has the charcoal carpet you’re talking about. Look under "custom" tab.

Where can i find information on tools for assembling electrical enclosures?

March 20, 2010 - 6:38 pm 1 Comment

i am looking for a source of information on tools of the trade for assembling electrical enclosures. i am looking for workbenches, general tools, specialty tools including how to cut the holes for fans etc. Lifting devices for heavy panels. and any other supplies anyone can think of. All input is greatly appreciated!

Look at McMaster-Carr and TechnoTools. Jensen makes very nice service kits (tools in a suitcase for field work).

In industrial electrical enclosures, what does a red wire signify?

January 17, 2010 - 10:26 pm 2 Comments

Current, voltage, associated wth?

If it is from anywhere outside America then the Red is for Active (power) Pretty much every other country the three phase’s are red, white and blue, (unless it is flex-lead) and earth is always Green and yellow. In a single phase application red is hard active, white is switched, and black is neutral. However sometimes in industrial applications purple and pink are used, sometimes for the extra low voltage AC or DC Controls, This is pretty common for alot of pannels from asia.

If it is a motor terminal box (espechally a 3 phase) the colours are differnet again for the start and finish of the field windings.

Hope that was relevent and made sence.

Are there external enclosures that support hard drives bigger than 2TB? Where can I find them?

December 19, 2009 - 4:53 am 1 Comment

I searched a couple websites and only found enclosures that supported drives up to 2TB. I’d like to get one that supports larger drives than that, so I can continue to use the enclosure in the future when drives are above 2TB.

Thanks!

External Single drive enclosures are so cheap, like $15-$20 it really shouldn’t be an issue. By the time you think you need to go to a larger drive, the interface technology will probably have changed and you’ll need a new one anyway.

You can get a Rosewill R25S for $40 that holds 2 x 2TB drives. Are you storing the Vatican library or what :))
