What are some good plants for an indoor carpet python enclosure?
 
What are some good plants for an indoor carpet python enclosure?
Hi I'm pretty new myself:

What subspecies of Carpet Python? This will help determine what plants will match its area. Try match its locality.

Ive got a Childrens from up here and I went and put in a Devils Ivy and a Calathea. And one other I forget. Basically just went around and bought stuff I have seen growing in peoples gardens. I have had a wild python or 2 in my yard before so I figured they enjoy the local garden plants.

And then people will probably advise you against it as real plants can lead to humidity control issues and stuff. But I do it myself. Several people on here seem to.

And there are a few plants that are toxic to reptiles (if they eat it) but I also imagine it would be harmful if they slither over the leaves perhaps so avoid these ones I reckon.

Just check your snakes locality and replicate that. Describe the climate of your Viv to your plant shop and they should help out too I would reckon.

Once we know what subspecies yours is I am sure a fellow keeper of the same type will help out

Enjoy

she’s a Centralian. We have a bromeliad ready to put in but the leaves feel too spiky for her to be climbing on

Since your snake is a Central, I wouldn’t recommend using plants for her.
If you’d like plants, you want plants that require low humidity like succulents.

If you get the climate right a Desert Pea or Desert Rose would be good.
Or an aloe or something but yeh safety first find out whats not toxic etc

Good luck!
