Almost Legendary
After many weeks of umming, and arring and deciding what and where and how to build an outdoor enclosure I then set to work to re-invent Magpie's outdoor enclosure design.
Using corflute (sp?), quebloc (from Ulrich), hardiflex covered with marine carpet, wire etc we have a 4 metre cubed enclosure!!!
It's 2 x 2 x 1m with plenty of climbing and hanging room
I'm going to get an on the ground hide as well - as soon as i find something suitable enough.
This also shows the example of a hanging basket hide which I've employed successfully with other pythons.
This is actually the first enclosure I've built from scratch and I'm ready now to build a much smaller version for a spotted python.
Eventually the original enclosure and this one will be joined by a PVC pipe so that mating can take place and the two snakes have very separate areas for feeding.
There is no heating in this enclosure, though I had built it into the other enclosure - Cairns temperatures are warm enough for these animals.
If you have something constructive to say do feel free to say so - otherwise that's it
As far as photos go - this is not the final spot for where the enclosure will be - it's actually just airing out - letting the wood settle in and any glues and silicon to dry off effectively before a snake goes in.
Also - I know, the photos aren't all arty - they're functional only
