My Custom Enclosures.

Bit of progress on the snake toilet. Some beautiful used bowling green carpet came into my possession for naught, i laid it out (or half of it) this morning and i'm pretty happy with it. Don't know if it's the deadly astroturf that has already been spoken of, but it's pretty nice out there now, and cooler than it was when my snake was on the concrete.

The "deadly" astro turf was only a problem for dragons etc. The loop pile would catch their claws, there was an alternative that didn't have loop pile . But since yours is only for snakes it doesn't matter either way .
BTW I recognize your avatar, it's a scene from Kill Bill. I can't remember the girls name, 1 of the crazy 88

Nah, was about temp. But they don't like the bare concrete for sure in the sun. I just don't have a grass area, and the guy next door who didn't mind me taking them over to crap on his lawn, has been feeding the local kookaburras.

I can put the hose on this stuff and wet it before the guys get out on it too.

Yes Gogo Yubari, been my avatar for decades.

Short skirts/long socks. Cookies/cream. Pork chops/applesauce.

Little update to say that all astrorturf is not eqal. Some guys doormat in the sun is not eqal to my bowling green after i've tipped 50 l of water on Whodat.

Guys are happy with it, despite the experts.



Back home sooking now.



Other idiot.



No matter how placid and tame they are....



My big guy hasn't struck me in about two years i reckon. Always the danger zone when you are getting them out, never know if they are off in a dream world when you startle them.

That's why I always rub them with the hook first, just to let them know I'm there

This was the bruising 3 days after getting nipped by a bredli

Next thing i want to incorporate into my enclosures is a breeze sometimes. My guys all just love laying on the table with their head into the breeze. They'll lay like this for hours.



This guys tank will be easy, a caged computer fan on a timer on top of the mesh of his tank, or attached to the inside on one of the walls.

The big enclosure will be harder to wire up safely, but with a bit of thought i reckon i can work it out too.

use a PC fan wired up to an old phone charger near one of the vents, this is what I use in my incubator. Low voltage and slight breeze

Yes, that is my plan, but the mesh will bugger up the flow, and the bottom tank only has seams for vents. Needs a bit more thinking than that, as i said.

If it was that easy i would have done it already.

I meant put the fan inside not outside

Ahh yes, that is the plan, just need to figure out hot to do the one that has little to tie it to and get the fans with good covers or get some covers made.
