Since some were not convinced that the U-Plex was a useful tool to have around I video taped several specimens being placed in tubs while there cares were re-furbished, including a 7 foot (2M) Black Mamba. I've seemed to live to tell about it!

  • Looks great. Only concern would be having the container stay put while you pull the U-plex out (not pressing down too hard on the lid or pulling too quickly) love it though 5/5

  • Nothings perfect but this is close.

  • how long is the big one?

  • 7 ft +

  • Al,

    Why not just put a 2 or 3 inch diameter hole in the blue lid, then slip the snake in the hole when the lid is already attached. Then put something over the hole.

  • Snakes are escape artists, that would make it easy for them.

  • Also the U shaped hole can be slid and made smaller or larger.

  • Not the best method with the arboreal critters who always seem to want to climb upwards, but you handle the all snakes very well and make it look easy.

  • It seems to me that it would be very convenient if someone would invent a lid with a sliding U-plex piece built in, so the glass wouldn't have to be removed from under the lid.

  • The hide removal idea is great! I will use that from now on .Thank you

  • the other is that mambas and Kings among others don't like to go down. so if you lower the polyepis so that he goes up over the lip of the box he will curl his head over the lip of the box and into the hole in the plex straight into the container...

    Uplex is the single most valuable tool for venomous aside from a hook.

    Another thing I do is put a different size 'hole' in each of the four sides of the plex for different sized animals.

    T-

  • Al, on the polyepis segment..two things come to mind. I place a piece of newspaper over the majority of the plex and box which allows for a nice dark 'hole' for it to retreat too.

  • where do u live that lets u keep these snakes

  • ok all i like this u plex thing but may i suggest popping the back side shut befor totally moving the u plex

  • Another Great video for all that keep HOT snakes
