Photos of my new snake and his enclosure!

[SLACkra]

enjoy! he has definatly started exploring. feeling quite safe in his soroundings untill some crazy creatures aims a metalic object at him and blinds him with flashes of light :lol:

the close up of his head has had basic photoshop editing. personally i think the auto colour fix thing makes him look redder than he actually is. however i like that shot cause of his tongue an interesting blue in that photo!

cheers

Cool, nice little fella !!

He is so cute! It looks like a huge enclosure for him...Just a hint on the toilet paper rolls...if they are from scented toilet paper your lil guy may not appreciate the scents coming off of them as they warm up in the heat of the enclosure....
:wink: Well done and congrats again Slackra!

LOL. Trust me ...much beter then when a crazy creature goes really fast in a metalic object and he is blinded from flashes of light from a thing up high on a poll... and far cheaper too.

scented toilet paper

Cool pics SLACkra looks like he is making himself at home........ Been tagged yet?

 

[SLACkra]

i am not sure actually! possibly but i didn't really feal anything and i don't have any bite marks. he put on a good show when i quickly showed my dad him. he had ventured to the top branch and suddenly he had 2 people looking at him. just started striking. poped the lid back on and left him be. i think hes in his warm site hide box atm, though he has ventured into the toilet paper rolls.

Alas most are... you will know exactly what is meant if you take a quick sniff before using them in an enclosure.

Nice one mate and i see there's no shortage of hide places. Bredls are the coolest.

Well done mate looks great, the photoshop editing made the photo look great i gotta get my hand on that program, then look out everyone! :lol: :wink:

If thats him in the middle picture in top of the branch, then that enclosure is huge!!

 

[childreni_440]

IMO that enclosure is far far too big for a snake of that size. I would suggest something smaller. Where's the heating in the enclosure?

 

[The Rock]

The enclousure is fine he will grow into it in know time as long as there is a warm and cool end for him to thermoregulate.
Slackra please tell me those wires are not insde the tank.?

Awwww look how cute he is!!!

He's not gonna know where to choose when he wants to hide lol

 

[SLACkra]

Slackra please tell me those wires are not insde the tank.?

:shock: he dosen't seem to have a problem with them, but your recomendations please! whats wrong with them?? the white ones are the thermometer and the silver one is the probe thermostat.

actually i think he loves his new place. i put some towls around the back and on the sides to make it a bit darker. last night he was in total explore mode, and got royally annoyed everytime i walked by! hes currently curled up in the non scented toilet rolls.

Just put the heat pad or what ever you are using under the tank NOT inside. As long as you have one end,4-6 inches or so, where you can put your hand on the floor and its nice and warm, and the rest of the tank cool, there is no need for a thermometer at all.! As for the thermostat Id get rid of it and conect a light dimmer to the pad instead. That way you just adjust the dial to suit and always have a constant warm and cold spot. Use the thermometer for the room the the snake is in and when temp gets 30 degrees or more theres no need to have heat on and can be turned off. Simple. You will easily work out what time of year and when this happens and timer set accorrdingly will turn lights on and off if you arnt there.

There looks like way too much crap in there...it looks like a recycling depot.Nice little aware snake....

 

[SLACkra]

atm the current setup seems to be working. the heat pad is located under a tile which completely covers it. so the tile is kept nice and toasty.

actually i wreckon the lil dude likes all the crap he is always in a different hide, but i think he likes the toilet rolls alot, might put a couple in the warm spot hide.
