Just setting up my enclosure for the Water Python I'm picking up tomorrow, and was wondering what is the ideal temperature range? Also how do you guys set up your L. fuscus enclosures. Thanks.

| Yep. Most well fed captives get to 7-8 feet. 10ft is really huge for a water.
I keep mine much like you'd keep a tropical carpet. Simple works well.

| Water pythons aren't just from the top end, some of their range is actually pretty dry. It's possibly important to give them low humidity in winter, as much of their range is exceptionally dry for much of the year.

| Exactly what I mean, they slough a lot easier too.
