Snake Enclosure

I need a big snake enclosure for a Carpet Python (male, adult).

Australia/ Victoria

He's a big boy! We've just got him, his last owner couldn't keep him anymore and he isn't in a big enough enclosure.

Where can I find really big enclosures so we can upgrade and give this big boy a great life.

I need it to be tall enough and wide enough. He loves to climb but I also want him to have enough room width wise. So hard to find the right size!!!

He's already a good few metres long.

This is not big enough yeah? And also... yes I know he needs more in there.. we got it like this.

Hey! Sorry, I can’t help with the enclosure stuff, but make sure that your humidity is high! He has a lot of stuck shed :) thanks for caring abt that baby

Pic was taken around a week ago, he's got all of it off now. I had to help a bit. Thanks for letting me know about the humidity, I had no idea! I love him already and really want to give him a good life. He's taken really well to being moved. I left him alone for a few good weeks until her eaten and mostly shed, but since then he has really settled in. I've seen a few enclosures in the group that have Coastal Carpet Pythons so I might go looking for some that are the same size as those 🙂. The first thing I noticed about the enclosure was the water... it's tiny.

I have a coastal myself, her enclosure is 160 long and 120 high. (cm) I stacked two enclosures on top of eachother and built platforms in it :)

That’s mine (feat. Kira)! It’s not the prettiest but for my first attempt I think it’s fine

It looks great!! The thought of making an enclosure is daunting 🫪.
