The Dome above the casino had 3 scrub pythons and a jungle python house together is that a good idea?

 

[jaih]

That 3rd pic is awsome, do you know what type it is?

 

[frankc]

I think the 3rd pic is the fijian iguana,am i right?I love there pilbara death adder,great looking snake,though my favorite at CTZ is their taipan,that is an impressive snake.

Last time I was there they had 1 scrubbie and a jungle housed together. If it is the same enclosure it is a fairly big one, don't know if it would be quite big enought to house 3 adult scrubbies though.

That iguana is awesome,love the colour.are those last pictures some sort of skink.

 

[bundy_zigg]

they have an amazing array of reptiles there and the tipan was spectacular. The Iguana is a Fijian Crested Iguana Brachylophus vitiensis they were so beautiful. As for the one on the end i dont have the name for it but im sure some one on here who has more knowledge than me will say what it is.

When i was there in Dec/Jan they had a blonde spotted python in with the scrub pythons. Apparently an adult scrub pythons diet is 100% mammals, so....

There was 4 large snakes in the enclosure 3 looked the same 1 was a jungle and the sign said srcub pythons and jungle python. they must change it around a heck of a lot then

spose as one snake gets eaten, they have to change it around. hehe.
hmmm :shock:

I guess if there is enough room for the jungle to keep out of the scubbies way it might be alright.... I guess if it's not they'll find out....

i actually work at the dome and we have 2 scrubbies and a large jungle carpet in the same large enclosure and they all get along fine. It has been this way for quite a while too, never 3 scrubbies and we dont even have a blonde spotted.

 

[bundy_zigg]

so you never have any problems with them? i must have been mistaken.

 

[J3ss_]

no problems at all.. they all curl up together and share one heat pad when theres another free one. They get along fine!

 

[Ashrwee]

i work at CTZ once a week and theres one large scrub python then 1 smaller scrub then 3 spotted pythons.. they all live fine in there together never any fighting at all,

Nat, what did you think of the GTP display at the entrance? 5 stars from me. Really well done with live plants, cascading creek, great rainforest mural at the back and 3 nice adult GTPs hanging there.

Is that relatively new? I don't remember seeing it last time we were there (probably 2 yrs ago)
