I am in the process of setting up an enclosure for a single SW carpet python. She will be with us for life and so I am wanting to go all out for her and build the Rolls Royce of homes.
My question then is obvious, what should I build for her?
I am a tradesman who is competent in using any material and any powertool so go for it, give me your ideas as to what I should do.
I am thinking something about 1.8 x 1.2 x 0.8m with maybe an octagonal section that widens out to about 1.2 in the area where I will build her basking point....maybe. Timber on three sides with the front and (maybe) octagonal section being glass for a nice view into the full cage.
I was going to build a pond with a miniture waterfall and use real plants but am unsure whether this is just going to be trouble and maybe I should stick with plastic plants but I think the water fall will be ok as I have built lots before and by using real rock I think it will add to the display.
I have looked around at pics I can find of other peoples set ups and frankly they seem to be very sp****, is there a reason for this that I am missing? or is it just about ease of cleaning.
Any ideas that people have will be very much appreciated.
Any pics would be awesome too!
