New to Aussie Pythons! Bredli Enclosure Progression

[smileysnake]

Like said young snakes like belly heat while they are young also having a light gives you your air temps to right levels as my bredli has gotten older he only uses heat mat during the day then shifts to cold side when he wants to cool down then when the Sun goes down the infrared light gives him heat at night to climb the trees and so I can see him exploring so no I don't think its overkill

Looking good

Is the branch fixed (eg. glued, nailed) or can you take it out? I soak all my organic materials in a hot salt water bath to kill any nasties, then fresh water bath to rinse. The size of the enclosure shouldn't matter if it is set up correctly. Two or three appropriately sized hides - they should be just big enough for the snake to fit comfortably in (remember to allow room for a full belly after a feed. Have one in the warm end and one in the cool end.
