Hey everyone I live in maitland in the hunter valley and was wondering if this region would be fine to keep my coastal in a large Avairy ? Some info or advice if anyone's doing it would be appreciated
YES you can. I had a pair outside for years and she laid eggs in a pile of lawnmower clippings 5 years in a row. ( removed and incubated ) As long as there is a hide box to go in and the aviary gets lots of sun - there is no problem at all mate...... looks like every one is an expert - but have they actually tried it or done it ??????? - i say NO ......they just read it somewhere.
Pm me and i will tell you more..... shut this thread down ...... too much bad vibes from all the " experts"
And i live in Maitland are also.....
The principles are actually very different.
Keeping them outside with far fewer choices than they have in the wild (as to how to shelter from extremes) is more risky than keeping them inside in controlled conditions which rarely reach extremes. The temperatures under an uninsulated tin roof on a blistering summer day will kill a snake in minutes, just as constantly cold and damp conditions will kill it more slowly if the aviary is not suitably located and well drained at any time. Many properties simply don't have the right aspect to keep these things outside - a south-facing yard constantly shaded in winter is not an appropriate place to keep snakes outside at that time of year.
