    How's my setup?

    Very beautiful carpet, I love his colors. I think it is interesting that here in the US we make enclosures that are more horizontal instead of vertical. The most common for us is a 4x2x2 enclosure for a carpet, however I have noticed that most Australian set ups are vertical. Either one seems to work good just preference I suppose. Your set up looks good to me. The only thing I noticed is that your daytime temps seems a little higher than where I keep mine. The difference is my setup maintains the same temps day and night. I used a radiant heat panel and keep the ambient at 80-84F (26-29C) with a basking spot at around 93F (34C). My humidity is always in the 40-60% range also. Your carpet appears to be very healthy so I would say you setup works great also. I wouldn't use a heat mat along with it like you had mentioned adding. I do not believe there is any reason to do so. The only other thing I noticed is that there is a lot of tape inside the enclosure. I was always told that is a bad idea because of the possibility of it coming off or being removed by the snake and them getting seriously injured.
