I know that Diamond Pythons are not native to Melbourne. it's a little too cold here in Winter.
Has anyone kept them outside in a modified garden shed? If so, what are the pros and cons? To me, being outside would be better with natural sun and hibernation cycles.
I was thinking along the lines of a fully closed roof, two closed sides (back and side) and two securely meshed sides (front and side) of a 6 x 8 foot shed. In one corner, I could put a hot box for Winter, with a simple heat lamp inside. I'd be looking for maybe a 3 to 4 foot python, so it will be large enough to secure without escaping through tiny gaps.
Thanks for any replies, explaining the pros or cons of doing this.
