Hey all

[gards]

Hey all I'm Gards just got myself my first snake I've all ways liked snakes but was very set in my ways of having a fear of them so I went out and brought myself a NT carpet python and now the obsession has begun there are not as bad as I thought. I'm hoping to get a Aussie GTP for the next snake.

Welcome mate. Great first snake.

Got any pics?

Welcome to the big family of APS, gards!

Great choice for a snake! I love Darwins ^_^ Can you post a picture?

Make sure you do A LOT of research if you are getting a GTP. They require a speacialist licence as well. Best of luck to you and your collection

Thanks guys here's a pic for use.
With the GTP I will be doing a lot of research before I buy anything I do I'm a lil bit compulsive on the research side of things.

Gday Welcome.. Nice snake

 

[gards]

Thanks guys. Just wondering because I'm fresh with this snake stuff is it ok to put artificle grass in the enclosure will it effect or hurt my snake at all? thanks guys.

 

[Ambush]

u mean like the mats? If so just a lot of cleaning.

 

[gards]

yeah just that stuff you would get from bunnings to line the bottem

 

[Ambush]

I use it in one of My Beardies housing. Use newspaper on the rest.
Only thing is you just got to give it a good wash.. I blast it with the hose.

 

[gards]

ok too easy thanks mate

 

[Keysman]

Have been told it can maybe harm the snake (sumthing to do with the blades of fake grass interfering with the snakes coloicer) but alot of people use it I myself use like a recycled paper bedding

Cloaca*

I've read the same thing once, not sure if it's that common or not :s

 

[Keysman]

Yeah not sure as well but I can see how you would come too that conclusion also maybe eye damage ????? Idk
kinda why I stay away from pebbles/rock/gravel substrate just incase they digest it
