That really is a nice pattern. You owe yourself and snake a chance to show off with some nice pictures!

That snake will look great with some increased natural lighting and a few pictures shot with a better camera.


Example: I-phone in poor lighting.

The next shots are with a real camera with some natural lighting. I'm NOT very good at taking pictures, but look at what a difference it makes just changing a few things.

I am aware there are some I-Phone pictures that are excellent, but most of mine are not.

If you can't get outdoors because of cold, set your snake up inside and try some other options. I know the colors on your animal are MUCH better than what we are seeing so far!

I'll be getting some better pics hopefully this weekend, my S6 takes some pretty awesome pictures. So since I don't have a real camera... yet, I'll just have to settle. But more pics will come soon [emoji4]

Looking forward to seeing them!

Hey sorry im new here and cant figure out how to make a new thread but i recently purchased a ars 7030 rack (41 qt tubs) and my friend who owns a reptile store told me the irian jaya carpets are ok in these tubs if you put things for them to climb on because they max around 5 feet. Im just here for confirmation. I dont want to get a pair and not be able to give them what they need. Thank you and sorry for not posting a new thread.

Wecolme to the forum Mike. :)

Once you've seen how much these guys move about, especially up high, you won't want to restrict it in a tub.

You may be able to give it climbing opportunities till it is 1 1/2 years or so with a tub. After that, you will get much more enjoyment with a display type enclosure, as seen by Gio's photos a few pages back.

None me of my Carpets will use their hides unless I mount them on the ceiling. They love being up in air which makes them so enjoyable to watch. They even hunt and feed from up high which is a real blast to watch.

I think tubs are ok for Balls, but I am anti-tub when it comes to Carpets. I'm sure there are many here that disagree with me, but that's what the forum is for, to express our views. :)

Bingo!

Reinz is spot on. Your snake will eat, grow, and breed just fine if you keep it in a tub, but carpets are so much fun to watch especially when you give them perching and climbing options. You'd be doing yourself a disservice sticking your carpet in a tub imo. :)

My little carpet has touched the floor of her cage probably 2 times in about 2.5 weeks. She LOVES her pvc gym. The only time she went on the floor was to inspect everything and make sure there weren't any "intruders" I guess because since then she just bounces around the gym, sitting on the lower level and then going up to the top level under the CHE and then over to the cool side of the gym etc. Definitely get your carpet a taller cage. If she is like mine, she will love you long time :D I'll be ordering little Allison a T12 here pretty soon...or if I remember, I might buy a cheap digital camera so I can post some pictures of my gals lol.

When given the opportunity, all of my Carpets take to the air. Then won't even touch their hides on the ground. As soon as I present a hide on the ceiling, they go for it.

That's totally kick A$$!!

Looks great up in that hide.

I sure hope I enjoy my retic as much as my coastal.

I used Cody's idea (Reptileexperts), but I learned that it takes overkill on the mirror hangers for adult Coastals. My first one was done for Lizzy, my big girl. She took to it immediately. A few days later I heard a huge crash in the snake room. I had thought that Lizzy or Elenore had blown out the plastic sliding doors again. But Lizzy was too heavy and must have been moving around in the hide, she and the hide came tumbling down two feet.

Theses Reptile Basic hides are flexible. 2 hangers on each side won't cut it for an adult. That's why I now use 4 in the back, 3 per side and front. The front ones can be easily twisted 90+ degrees so that the hide can slide out easy for cleaning.

Lizzy's new one just installed for her AP T-25 assembly.
