Hi everyone,
Ive started building my future diamond python a 1200mm (w) x 600mm (d) x 1200mm (h)
I will upload pictures tomorrow and show the progress.
i will be buying a hatchling - yearling aged python. Im a first time snake owner and first time enclosure builder. However I will be keeping the diamond in a click clack until it is at least 2 feet long.
So far I have fitted the frame together and put the back peice on, im using 16mm White Melamine.
I have a query about the glass tracks, my 2 panels of glass are roughly going to be 1100mm x 700mm and the plastic tracks I have say the recommended maximum height is 760mm. Has anyone had experience in succesfully using the plastic tracks with such large panels of glass? or do I upgrade to Aluminium?
I'm also having trouble deciding about my heating options. I'm going to run a 600mm batten UVB 5.0 as well as 2 ceramic fittings with a basking globe in one on for 4 hours in the morning and an infared globe in the other for ambient heat, both of which hooked up to a 2 channel timed dimmer thermostat.
I'm wondering whether the amound of heat will be enough for the enclosure, I understand that Diamonds require a slightly cooler temperature to other pythons but im unsure with even those temperatures.
Photos to come.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
James
