Climbing for Coastal - Advice Please
I asked for help in preparing for a new Coastal Carpet Python, and the response from the forum was great. I appreciate the help and took everyone's advice (although I still can't find a copy of The Complete Carpet Python)!
I'm going with the A20 from Animal Plastics (48W x 24D x 36H), and it will have a basking shelf. I am looking for items that my guy will be able to climb on. I purchased Branch B6 (23" x 2.5") from Eden Enclosures, but I was looking to add to this. I am considering EONMIR's 8-Foot Reptile Vines (Thick) and/or Zoo Med's Sandblasted Grapevine 30-40 inches. I have included pictures. What have you used?
After this the next thing is a name, which will be hard. I have 16 guy names and 3 girl names!
LAST: I have had two ball pythons (Ares and Aristotle). Should I list them in my signature, or is that only for current snakes?
Thanks again!!

Thanks! I really like the idea of Bamboo Poles and driftwood! Gives me something else to look into!

You'll find bamboo poles in home improvement stores sometimes, but I got mine on sale from a local large feed & farm supply place. Some ppl use rope to connect them into a wide climbing "ladder" or jungle gym- it looks cool & offers some traction too.
My best driftwood (5' of snakey-curves) followed me home from a river I was kayaking one fine day. :cool: I couldn't leave it.

I've found a decent amount of bamboo poles online. What kind of diameter would a Coastal like the best? I was thinking of going with a couple bamboo poles, one 3in in diameter and the other 4in. Of course, they come in all kinds of different diameters, so it's easy to select the most appropriate size. If they are flame cured would I need to worry about the poles holding on to bugs/germs?
Turns out I DID NOT purchase a branch from Eden Enclosures. They were out and forgot to remove the item from their page. Got a refund with no issues.
Leaning towards Kraken for the name. I love the rum and I want the chance to yell, "Release the Kraken!" If not Kraken, we may go with Malakii. I still have another 12 names, but my wife likes those two.
