    Re: carpet python setup post it!

    Of course, Cassandra (and tks for the comment)
    Itīs no secret at all, but since I was sending a pm to Dutch about the plants and so on, I put all the info together.

    After buying the plants I try to replace most of the soil (all I can without killing the plant), clean all the leaves and let them be for a couple of weeks to recover from replanting and inspecting for bugs.
    Then, I just put the pots inside the cage and mist 2x a week (also good to keep himidity). Then, its up to the plants (the pothos grows like a weed and the dificulty is to control it)

    After that all I have to do is spot cleaning. In this case its very easy, because this particular snake only "goes" once every month-month and a half (and sometimes when "subject to" a bath, which makes cleaning very easy).

    After my holidays, Ill take new pics, because the pothos - even with lots of prunning (sp. ?) - is now 2 or 3 times bigger

    I replace the soil of the pot that comes with the plant when I buy it, with new "bagged" plant substract (soil), to minimize the risk of bug infestation
