Probably a lot more than you by the sounds of it. I'm Victorian and lived in NSW as well. Still not sure why you are bangin on about coastals. Be good to see a picture of your coastal enclosure though. I'm kind of curious as to how much room you think they need. I keep an olive in an indoor aviary. But that's for my own viewing more than the snake. I think like most, you'll move to elapids when you get older or at least something interesting. It's alright, we're all at different levels and there's nothing wrong with that. As long as you keep learning.No sorry mate... Still not high enough IMO, how much experience do you have keeping coastals in WA? Maybe just comment on reptiles you actually keep?

IMO if the snake needs to be removed for "exercise" then the cage is too small, unfortunately the hobby has changed and it's moving more towards breeding the latest morph.
Just remember the secret to life is not to worry what your neighbor is doing. Just worry about yourself

Yep, can't say I agree with the way they do somethings. I only brought them up due to the size of tubs they have. And their success with keeping and breeding using tubs.I

Totally agree so long as there is a hide for most species
Pity snakebytes dont see it the same way
Ive found some wild caught carpets can be a pain to feed in vivs but will eat when I move them to tubs. I'm not sure why this is, but I'm leaning more towards stress and they feel more secure in large tubs. Eventually I've been able to move them to enclosures with a bit of time and patience and keep them feeding. A wild olive juvie I have was the same. And a wild night tiger was the opposite... I think experimenting, learning about and understanding these animals is the best part of keeping.
