SW Carpet Python enclosure size?

[Blazey]

Just wondering what size enclosure would be suitable for south western carpet python once its fully grown? Anyone able to give me some dimensions?

Cheers

4'x2'x2' would be the smallest I'd go

You could go for a 3x2x2 with a shelf in it if you dont have room for a 4ft enclosure.

Hey,

Just wondering what kind of lights people have for their SWCP enclosures. My snake at the moment has a heat mat and a heat lamp, but as of yet I have not put any lights on the enclosure as I have natural northern light in the room that he is kept in and then a normal room light in the evening. Is this ok?

I didn't want to get a UV light as I am told that they don't need it as they are usually nocturnal in the wild and I like to keep the natural day/night cycle.

Should I put a light source over the enclosure for the evening or is natural lighting ok?

It's fine I don't use uv, just heat lamp and a thermostat!

4x2x2 is minimum but a 4ft long 2ft wide and 3 foot tall would be better

Depends on where they come from. Some pops max out at 1.5m and others at 3m. I keep most of mine in 1200x 450x 600 boxes.

I'm close to needing a new box for mine and i'm planning on going H1200 x D600 x W800 or something similar.

IMO that is way to small 4x2x3or4 would be great
