Hey,
I am after some info on an internal snake enclosure. I am doing up a spare double garage at the moment and was thinking of converting one wall (floor to ceiling) into an enclosure, it would be quite large I know, but I thought it would not only give the snakes (I was thiking a pair) plenty of room, but also what a great feature.
There will be TV, stereo etc... in the same room, the noise won't be loud but should the room be kept quiet?? Also, what about smell???
Regards,
Mikk |

Snakes cant hear the noise, though the vibrations could disturb them.
They dont really smell at all well not that i find they do
Why do you want to house them together, you have the space, just make two enclosures
What sort of snake are you getting?? |

I know that's vague but its the lamens description

The BHP's are terrestrial, and although may use the height at times would spend most of their time on the ground.

probably want to go for coastals, with a tall enclosure, they would get most use out of it. |
