Who needs to go to the Zoo when we could just go to your place as long as we bring a plate of food for this guy

Came across your video and it definitely helped me with the steps for the backdrop. Thank you !

Awesome build for a very lucky snake!

@@lashvivs Ah yeah man, always, also on Reddit. I actually took a lot of inspiration from your videos, you really do cluttering and completely filling the space really well! Its something most don't do right IMO. People think snakes are like us, that they like tidy and open spaces, couldn't be farer from the truth

Awesome video man!

Amazing build! I love that you even made the actual enclosure yourself, as that is what I want to do. Great inspiration, so thank you! How are the plants holding up? I know ball pythons and boas are little steamrollers, and I imagine that carpet pythons are similar, but those are some pretty robust plants.

the plants are doing really well. i used cork tube planters for the smaller ones so he doesn’t steam roll them too badly. he also really utilizes his branches which allow him to move around without climbing on the plants.

@@glock_9ine956 i’ve done the math, it’s definitely cheaper (especially a custom background instead of a purchased one), but it’s also a lot more labor intensive and time consuming. so just depends on what your situation is. i enjoy the building process more than purchasing one.

Amazing build my man. Question…do carpets ever burrow? I’m wondering about him possibly uprooting plants.

@lashvivs

Жыл бұрын

thanks! interestingly, i’ve seen him dig some tunnels before, but he doesn’t do it often. i’ve tried to give him enough terrestrial hides so that hopefully he doesn’t feel like he needs to dig his own. but if he chooses to then so be it i’ll adjust haha.

are all the materials used in the video non-toxic/non-harmful to snakes? beautiful work by the way! planning to build a tank to upgrade my carpet python to this summer

hey, i used a circular saw to cut the acrylic sheet. it isn’t technically glass, that would require a specialized glass cutter which you can find at your local hardwire store. the wire tool is a wire foam cutter that i purchased from amazon. thanks for watching!
