Scrub Python Enclosure Progress Thread

[Team Slytherin]

Yea, the decorating is my favorite part. I actually got back into snakes because I wanted to make a terrarium and needed something to put in it. But now I'm in love.

I read that scrubs tend to lay on a perch, not droop like an ETB, so I'm trying to have those thick branches to accommodate that. My ETB is so active; I woke up this morning and she knocked over every bromiliad I had attached to the walls. She is hungry though.

I hope my scrub will perch to make full use of the cage. If not, I may order like a 6' x 2' AP when she gets bigger, but we will see.

She’ll definitely make use of all the branches you can give her! Makes it more difficult to remove them from the enclosure, but they do love to perch. I’ve found my boy perching on the smallest piece of chord coming off his day light. Would’ve thought it impossible, but I think he likes it because he knows I can’t pull him off it 😂

Recently had to swap his 3 ft high enclosure for a 2 footer and I definitely notice decreased activity and more hiding. With 3 feet of height, he was perched 70-80% of the time. Hopefully, I’ll be able to upgrade him again soon so he can climb more.

Can’t wait to see your pretty girl in her new setup! Also, though her parents may have come been exported from Jayapura, she definitely looks Wamena from the photos. Once she settles, it might be interesting to experiment with slightly cooler temperatures and see if that affects her temperament at all. Wamenas are a race from the central highland mountains and generally experience cooler temps that change with the seasons, rather than year-round warmth like most of PNG.
