yeah.. I've been through that mess with my female suri. She's not that big, but she won't sit still! You need a nice clear lidded giant container.. or something.

How about a big piece of plexiglass that would fit over a bath tub? Put in her a clean, dry bathtub with a ruler, plexiglass on top and a quick picture - would that work?

Hehe. Yep - if I had a piece of plexi that big I'd pop it over the top of her bin.

To-the-inch measurement isn't a dealbreaker or anything - when she is out lounging with her body up against the peripheral of the cage I just note how long she is in relation to the tub's "ribs" and base measurement off that.

Last night was the first time she'd left the bathtub "clean" - but she'd left a massive "gift" in the bin already. She's got bigger p00 than any of the other creatures in the house (us included). Maybe not needing to go made her less inclined to swim out and lounge? No idea. I'll try to remember to keep the camera handy next time she's out to get seom better length pix - it's not a rarity to have her out or anything (unlike the camera having a charged battery when you need it lol).

So she likes to hang out in the tub, eh? Mine all try to leave if I put them in there.. though I haven't gave the condas a swim yet, I'm sure they'd enjoy ambushing me from the tub.

She loves it. Not to anthropomorphize too much - but she's just like a different snake altogether. Sometimes she'll just kind of sit with her head resting on the lip of the tub, doesnt get freaked by looming/reaching movements, swims some (tight) laps, blows bubbles (with her nose :P). And she usually wraps it up with a nice p00p. Up until last night actually it was very rare to find a pile in her enclosure - the tub action saw to that. That low-impact cleaning appeals to the lazy in me.

Rofl...next time she'll ask for mouse bonbons and for you to turn on her soaps while she's lounging in there...=)

I know this is probably a stupid question but what kind of snake is that?

python sebae - african rock python.

ding ding!

She's actually a sebae sebae there's a smaller form found in the southern part of Africa - sebae natalensis.

I wonder why we don't see sebae natalensis in captive collections.
