Morellia Madness

[WrongPython]

Only two real reasons I haven’t put them in bigger enclosures yet.
1. My big 4x30x24 enclosures have rather large circular vent holes that my females could probably jam their heads through with determination.
2. Heat transfer from the panels in those cages heat the floor of the cage above it pretty warm. I could move the rack from that stack to my 4’ stack and center the 6’ cage above the collective 8’ cage below but I think I’ll save the effort for when I have the new cages set up.

Also just not a real big fan of hunting through a giant cage floor for tiny poops. Smaller enclosures makes daily maintenance much easier for me and they honestly still have plenty of space. The Brisbane female will definitely be the next for an upgrade. My rockhampton female still fits in an RBI small hide though.

Valid points, particularly on the vent and heat transfer fronts. Do the cages you've ordered have some sort of spacer bar/stacking kit you could order if heat transfer becomes a real issue? I've seen more and more cage makers make and recommend them for stacks, to the point they suggest you don't stack without them.

I say jump on whatever Morelia you’ve got your eye on, good looking critters don’t hang around long. Notice that outstanding WOW line female from Mike Curtin isn’t listed anymore. Wonder who may have snatched her up...

Oh? Are we going to be seeing a new update thread here soon? Not surprised she was snapped up so quick. She is a very pretty, and apparently quite "outgoing"!

Now that I've put some serious thought back into it (and spent far too much time window shopping), I'm back on the Papuan train. No matter how many Morelia I look at, I always come back to them for multiple reasons. I think that's a sign of what the best choice would be. It certainly helps that there are a few high-yellow Papuans out there, a that quite a few individuals who have caught my eye...

Tangentially, I'm thinking it would be better order a new cage for the carpet instead of upgrading Kuzco early and giving the newbie the 20L. A cage would just be much more stable, and maintaining humidity wouldn't be as much of a pain. I've been seriously investigating total acquisition costs (which also include heating, UV, and a new Herpstat) and cage lead times the past few days. It all adds up to quite a bit. My course of action would be to get (read: pay for) all of the new housing first and then go for the snake. If one of the individuals I've been eyeing is still there, maybe it was just meant to be! If not... well, a nice housing set up could always be saved and used for the next snake to catch my eye. Because there's always at least one snake like that out there, and next season is just around the corner!
