Morning All
A couple months ago I was in the planning/home work stage of getting myself a hot or 3 ,
I had been doing plenty of reading and been checking on what snakes I would like to get , saving up for the right equipment and handling courses needed!
But that all changed on one of my visits to the forum, I saw Mittons threads with regards to Carpet pythons and he’s site. (Some very nice snakes you got Mitton )
I then fell in love with Australasian pythons, the more pictures I looked at and the more reading up I did about these awesome snakes the more I decided to go for this species and forget about the venomous type,
I have always loved and wanted a green tree python but the price of them put me off.
I took a leap and will be getting Liasis mackloti mackloti python on Saturday.
I am pretty excited and looking forward to getting it . Will post some pictures after I get it and it has had a chance to settle in!
I will see how it goes with this one and I might just consider adding more species of Australasian pythons to my growing collection of Tarantulas.
What I need to ask now is?
Here is one of the care sheets. http://snakesathome.co.uk/MacklotPythonCareSheet.aspx
1st On the care sheets, says that they need a basking spot, As I got myself a plastic container for it and there is not much space to add a basking light, will the snake be fine with just a heating pad for winter, in summer I will be finishing off my spider room and getting a proper display tank/viv.
My spider’s room is heated and the temperatures are between 22degrees to 28degrees. Humidity is two glasses of water infront of the heaters.
2nd What would be correct thickness of glass to use for these snakes? 4mm or 6mm
Would safety glass be a bit of over kill?
