I've been looking to get a water python as my next snake but can't seem to find much info on them. After having a thorough look on the search engine I have a few questions that still haven't been answered. I know they are pretty much housed like normal pythons. Hot end/cold end, water bowl (a bit larger than the standard), hides, higher humidity(?) and to stll provide climbing spaces,etc.
1) What size enclosure size do adults need? I have found people keeping their's in 4x2x2 but I think that's too small. What size is best?
2) What are the best temps to have for them?
3) Does anyone keep their's in outdoor enclosures in cold areas? (I live in Adelaide Hills, would this be too cold in winter even with heating?)
4) What is the best substrate? Do they like to burrow?
All help is appreciated, extra info is also helpful!
Thanks, Sharkyy
