for a stimson

[marina]

hey guys, im getting my first snake soon and i was wondering if this enclosure would be good for a stimson python. thx

 

[Red-Ink]

????? what enclosure ???

 

[marina]

oh crap LOL URS Vivarium Xlarge 120x50x60cm i forgot the most important part ... :L

 

[Red-Ink]

Yeah mate, a stimmi will be fine in that, in fact you can even get the next size down which is 900mm long and it'll still be OK.

 

[marina]

thx, i was also thinking about a bredli, would it fit in the 120 viv ?

 

[Red-Ink]

I'd go 150 for a bredli, they can get up to 7ft. Though a lot of people do keep them in 120 with no problems.

i've got 2 stimmies (1m/1f) in a 100cm viv

 

[marina]

cool do u breed them?

 

[chickensnake]

will it be a hatchie? yearling full grown ect...?
Id steer clear of that enclosure if its a hatchie/juvi as you will loose it throught the gap inbetween the glass

 

[marina]

im thinking of how old it should be when i get it.

 

[marina]

if i get that viv, ill have to see how big the gaps are

 

[chickensnake]

I guarantee you, if you get a hatchie it will escape through the gap, bubs are better off kept in click clacs aka plastic storage tubs

600mm x 450mm 450mm is fine for just one

and i had my hatchie in a the little gold fish tank with lid for a long while

Same!

I am also looking for something to put a Stimmie in, or a Spotted. I don't have the money yet, is all. I think I know a guy that sells them for half that, though, on the Gold Coast.

 

[Snakewise84]

usually them keep them in a tub Aka click clack

I am in the process of setting my first viv up, 1200x600x600. No gaps and all meshed up over vents and door is a snug fit.
I know there has been a lot of advice on placing littlies in click-clacks or the like however, I was thinking that as long as I have enough hides that it should be Ok ?

I am looking at getting a Stimson that is just on 12 months old, has anyone had one around this age in an enclosure this big with any issues?

 

[marina]

it depends how big it is. when u get it dont forget to show us the pics

I have a 12 month old Weatbelt Stimson's python which i keep in a 500x400x400 glass viv. He's about 75cm long and i recon this is a good size for him until he reaches close to 90-100cm. If you go too big temps are hard to maintain and the snake may not feel safe and secure. We get him out every couple of days for exercise and let him hang out so he gets lots of stimulation and he is happy. For reference i also have a 4.5ft Woma that i keep in a 1200x450x400 viv he loves to snuggle up in his hides and we also get him out for regular exercise. My honest advice is don't go too big to early with a young snake it makes them struggle to feel safe and secure.
Good Luck
