    Re: Liasis Fucus/Water Python

    Thank you Gio! Its just aquarium background, Eco-Earth, and artificial aquarium plants. I need to get another piece of that background for the left side, which used to face the couch. The off-white bin isn't bad, but the background looks nicer.

    I'm annoyed with myself for forgetting to look for some climbing branches or another magnaturals vine when I went to the local expo on Saturday. At least the "tree" offers some climbing opportunity, the information I've found isn't helpful on how much water pythons climb to help me determine how much height I'll need to provide in an adult enclosure.

    Re: Liasis Fucus/Water Python

    I'm a big fan liasis, I actually keep an olive and a water myself, both of which are yearlings. Regarding the arboreal nature, my water has a pvc perch and an arboreal hide mounted to the cage ceiling and I'd say she spends her time split 50/50 between terrestrial and arboreal hiding/cruising/hunting. Both while out actively search for high ground and perch once there. I always turn off ceiling fans as my olive will climb to the top of my head and then try and lift himself onto them.

    As adults they aren't quite as heavy bodied and I think even my olive when he gets 8ft+ will climb given the chance. They are no morelia, but I think a 4x2x2 would be utilized pretty well and it's what I plan on having for my adult water cage. My olive will get a 6x3X2 but he's gonna be significantly bigger and it'll be much harder to provide usable vertical space.

    Thank you for the input! Kajura was hanging out in the tree yesterday, I think they're getting the idea climbing is a thing to do.

    Soaking at night and this morning, I suspect another shed soon.
