4 new snakes

AH ok thanks, It does help, as it does get hot up here and am sure it does down there as well and sheds tend to overheat a bit, so was really looking to see how u keep it nice and cool, but now i see how, I can just go to Bunnings and find out myself the price,
Thanks

hey Greebo i have a shed twice the size of yours,fully insulatedand venttilated ,Iwas wondering what to do with it now i know and it has 3 phase power ,so how many could i fit ruffly

[bigguy]

Greebo, hope you have heaps of bandaids for those Darwins. Even though you get the occasional nice one, in general they are a bit bitey wether W/C or C/B.

I remember when I got my first 2 from Simon Kortlang in Vic many years ago. These were the only 2 snakes that I would have ever called evil. Every time you opened their cage, they would not just defend themselves, they would come out after you to bite. My Eastern Browns were more trustworthy

I must admit they have now tamed down an awlfull lot, I still do not trust them completely, but they are no longer the HOUNDS OF HELL that they used to be)

[Greebo]

so how many could i fit ruffly

Depends on your set up.whether you just have enclosures on the walls or if you have banks of enclossure down the middle as well.
But if your shed is 10X8...well you could house heaps of snakes in there before you run out of room.

HOUNDS OF HELL

Oh well, I like a challenge.

Congrats Greebs!
Wow, 40.. I'm envious, no room for a shed on my balcony so I'm not able to expand my family :-( Good luck with the bitey beautys and post some pics when you can.

[Greebo]

I'm just getting started Nicole. A lot of my snakes are sub-adults so in 2 to 3 years it should really take off.

I might have to drop in with Afro some time - it sounds awesome!
I'll live my dreams of mega multiple snake guardianship through you Greebs :-)

My mate just recently aquired a pair of 2yo darwins. I was giving him a lift home and he decided to open the bag, they started striking at him.
The previous owner said they were the fiestiest snakes he had ever kept.

Having said that, he has managed to tame them down and they don't try to bite him anymore.

cheers

which ones your fav coastals or darwins....?

[Greebo]

Probably the coastals as they are easy handlers.The Brisbane has a nice set of stripes running down the last 3rd of it's body.
One of the Darwins has nice 'bright' colours although I don't know what sex it is yet.The other darwin is only average.

hey greebo was your security system expensive to set up and also did you use motion sensor's or not? as i will be using a shed in the long run myself and would love that sort of information.

[africancichlidau]

Security alarms don't have to be expensive to be effective. I installed one to cover my house for under a grand. Biggest thing you need is reliability because if it false alarms all the time like some do nobody takes any notice of it. Good quality P.I.R. detectors and properly set up and ya laughing

[BROWNS]

I have found Darwins to be pretty schizo as well.....seems like a lot of our more Northern species of pythons are more bitey in general...

I had a water python once that was the craziest thing i've ever seen.This thing would launch itself at you with full force and mouth open any time you went remotely near it. I no longer own this snake and although i have seen and heard of the odd "quiet" water python i don't think i'd like to own another one.

[Magpie]

I think of it as my retirement plan.

Yeah snakes are great when you are retired like me.
