glass enclosure

[krylon]

Any thoughts on keeping a olive Python in a glass enclosure (like a large turtle tank) with a mesh roof..
Although my location says ACT im moving to Adelaide and would love the chance to keep a Python in a living enclosure (live plants).
any advise on keeping a good temp in a glass enclosure and anything else that could help..
cheers

Although not an olive i keep my snake (carpet) in a glass enclosure...as long as its big enough for him, i dont see a problem...BTW what type of dog is that in your avatar pic...is it a boxer?

i find it helps to keep a polystyrene back ground in the back of the cage it helps keep the heat in, i suggest something like a reptile one glass cage they have wire mesh on the top for ventilation and on the sides.

Glass doesn't hold the heat as well as wood does.
With live plants you run the risk of hygiene bugs and things in the soil - I guess you'd have to change the soil a bit and bake it to help keep the micro organisms out. jmo
