Let's see your carpet python setups!

Hey everybody. I'm pretty up and down about then snake I want to get. I've been looking at jungle carpets, Burmese, retics and anacondas. But I just want to see some naturalistic carpet enclosures right now but this is how I have my enclosure setup at the moment. Obviously I'm going to take out the linoleum floor and use cypress if I get a carpet but here ya go. :) post them pics!http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...9daf0b2a11.jpg if I do get the snake I will put an exo Terra foam rock background in there. The tanks measurements are 21L X 18D X 32"H

You have a nice setup but most snakes don't need height but rather more ground space.

I have a Carpet and a Burmese. I like them both a lot, but Burms are by far my favorite. The Carpet will use the levels of "branches" I have in the enclosure, but spends a lot of time in his hides on the ground too. I agree, more floor space is better, but if that's the enclosure you are looking to use, a Carpet would enjoy it if you set it up right.

Thanks guys :) but I'm still pretty undecided on what I'm going to get yet although a carpet python would be a lot easier to get because burms are a banned species illegal to transport across state lines. By the way I would not use this tank for a Burmese. I have a 40 gallon breeder size to start it in.

I have a Bredli and this is her in the temp enclosure til I finish her future home. She is still shy but at the same time she is really curious. I have been working a lot so I have not been able to interact with her as much as I would like to.

That would be a good tank for a new carpet but it wouldn't be long before it outgrew it. If you get a jungle they tend to do some climbing and perching. If you get a coastal they will do that when hatchlings but tend to stay on the ground when they are adults.

IJ's and diamonds, I haven't had personal experience with so I am not sure how they are for climbing but would like peoples input if they got any on that. Same with Bredli's as well.

Big snakes are illegal in Canada so I have never owned burns, anaconda, etc. So I can't speak about differences between them. I do really enjoy carpets though and find they are a lot more interesting then most other snakes I've owned.

Just got my new enclosure partially up and running. I went with an Aztec themed background on the upper half. Still a lot of work left - I need to do the sides of the background and I'm making an Aztec face statue waterfall with the water flowing from the mouth. The top is around 33" x 23" x48" and houses my Zebra Jungle Carpet Python. The full height of the enclosure is a little under 7 ft. On the lower half I'm going to do an Amazon rocky background with a waterfall, and it will likely be the new home of my Green Tree Python. The bottom is a few inches taller than the top half, and I'm not sure my GTP will utilize the extra space. If she doesn't, I'll buy a red Amazon Tree Boa for that enclosure and move the GTP back to her old enclosure.

i hope this doesnt come off the wrong way because i like your idea but i'm curious, why the south american theme for an australian snake?

Well the jungle carpet wanted to move to a real jungle lol. The setup looks awesome. I got to work on my enclosure today. I made most of the internal frame and have the sides cut to fit. I was out of liquid nails so I did not get to put them in place.

The addition to the back will double my depth to 32 inches and I plan on doing a themed interior to match where bredli's come from. I need to start another DIY thread for the build.

Lefty, no offense taken. I thoroughly researched the origins of this particular specimen and discovered that he was somehow trapped in a crate of boomerangs that were subsequently shipped to Mexico. Luckily, he was able to adequately adapt to his new environment. I was actually waiting to see when someone was going to notice that. :D I simply liked the way the Aztec theme looked, and I know that 99% of the people who come through my house are going to be clueless about the snake's native habitat. I had to force myself to overlook that fact, because normally a contradiction like that would bother me.

Hey firemaniv. I've got a question about your tracking for your ball Python. I saw your video on YouTube about it and was wondering do you think a Burmese could push the doors up and out?? I want to do the same thing you did but use real glass instead.

I don't know, I guess if you use thicker glass so that it has weight that would help. Plus I think if the glass has a lock on it that makes the 2 sections more like one. I have not seen my BP messing with the doors. She likes to rearrange her lighting lol.

I would find an active burn thread/ Facebook group and ask. Sorry that I don't have a better answer. I have never owned a burn, just hold them.

I planned on using quarter inch or half inch glass but thanks for the help anyway

ya, it would drive me nuts too. I mean, my décor does not in any way scream natural habitat so I cant really complain. :)

by the way, the enclosure looks great.
