Just wondering if you can keep scrub python outside in Sydney
You can keep pretty much anything outside if your set up (heating, draft barriers etc) and positioning (in relation to the sunrise and sunset) is rightAlso can you keep olives out side
Yeah I’ve decided that I’ll keep a pair of diamondsI would say no as scrub pythons are found in the northern parts of Australia.
But you can keep diamond pythons outside in sydney.
Not that it makes any difference to your explanation of climate conditions , but Scrub pythons occur naturally a long way further south than Cooktown. Tully Gorge is famous for them .I think you will find there is a significant difference between Sydney’s climate and that of the Atherton tableland. Scrub pythons naturally occur about as far south as Cooktown, all the way to New Guinea. The climate in this region is categorised as tropical, with a typical wet/dry season and monthly average temperatures that are 20oC or more.
They occur a long way south of Tully too.Not that it makes any difference to your explanation of climate conditions , but Scrub pythons occur naturally a long way further south than Cooktown. Tully Gorge is famous for them .

Sorry, but I fail to see how a few chilly nights is more important than the overall temperatures throughout the year. We are talking about putting a tropical animal outside into a temperate climate. You gave the reverse examples. BTW, am I correct in assuming that your animals are housed entirely outdoors? Have you done anything special with their enclosures to assist them to cope? How long have you had them there?There is a significant difference between temps on the NQ coast and the Atherton Tablelands considering that the tablelands are some 700-900 metres above sea level. It is not unusual with frost in July.
I don't think ambient temps are too important as a microhabitat would have a more narrow range than day/night temps where a hide would provide cool relief on a hot day The same hide would have residual warmth from the day during a cold night.
I have bred SA Womas and Bredl's here in Cairns. A clutch of Diamond eggs are in the incubator. Cairns would not be the ideal spot if you look at annual day/night temps only.
Scrubbies are found as far south as Airlie Beach.
