is there a list of QLD breeders/keepers either on here or on the net that i could have a look at and through? Does anyone have any strong recomendations for a breeder/keeper in 'local' areas to me? (Brisbane, Toowoomba etc, etc)
Im having some trouble finding info about this

i am well on my way to getting organised to getting my first little one  but eventually, my little one will need to have a new and bigger home.
I have been looking around on some of the sites listed on here as sponsers whatnot and have seen a few things that both grab my attention and raise some questions.
For instance, there is an enclosure and substrate on Animal Attraction, the enclosure measures 1200x600x600mm, will that be big enough for an adult MD? I was under the impression that MDs like to climb and was thinking a vertical inclosure might be better...? Or would they be happy to climb and muck around in an enclosure of those measurements?
The substrate is called "bush flooring". I notice more people are both using and recomending that other people use newspaper for hygene reasons. In the above mention flooring's ad, they tell me that it is very hygenic and easilly maintained, has anyone had any experience with that type of substrate? good or bad?
All help and advice is greatly appreciated

still looking for some helpful hints and tips
i found a guy that has the books mentioned earlier, care of australian reptiles in captivity and keeping carpet pythons and will be getting them very soon to read
ScotchBo is kind enough to set up my hatchling setup for me and i will be getting that sorted as soon as i can
Thanks to everyone that has helped me out with advice thus far

NRE...
If you're planning to come to WA, you'll find the laws here really strict. You'll need to contact CALM before you move here to organise your license, and they'll tell you what you can and can't bring in, and can and can't keep.
Cheers,
Marie.

Several online reptile places will be able to arrange delivery of a snake for you.
Only thing is you dont get to see them in real life before you purchase.

I'd steer clear of glass vivs (Fish tanks)
I use one, and theres nothing wrong with them, its just easyer to regulate temp in a wooden viv with a plexan window
just my 2 cents  |
