So after being shutdown about a possible turtle/ snake combo, would a walking fish and water python combination be possible?
The only problem I can see is with water temp.

It seems to me that these multi-species habitats that people want to set up are an interesting idea, and can work in some circumstances with VERY careful selection of species. Only the very smallest reptile species would be suitable for the home enthusiast, because the space requirements are way beyond that which most hobbyists can provide. Zoos, of which Melbourne is a great example, have great exhibits... but the enclosures are huge, temp maintenance is also a huge cost.
Keeping mixed genera at home, especially if you include large pythons or lizards, in a standard 4x2x2, will compromise the health of at least some of the occupants.

Hi Jamie,
What species (if any) do you think would coexist with a woma? I'm in the planning process of a new enclosure.
A big problem is keeping the water quality good enough for fish to live in once your snake starts defacating.I think I'll just put some fish in with the water, in his semi aquatic.
it couldn't be as traumatising as being in with a turtle with short problems.

Why do you have a water python in a semi aquatic tank? If there is enough water for fish then there might be too much water for a python. Unless your tank is big enough to offer suitable environments for both.
High humidity in a tank can cause some serious health problems and with water with faeces in it can quickly for unwanted bacteria, especially if it is warm.
Oh okay.
I don't yet have the snake, I was just going off ideas on this and the net, where people have goldfish and plecos in with their snakes.
If the snake was bored enough, surely it would consume the fish?
