How to Setup an Adult Snake Enclosure - Cookies Critters - 2021
In todays tutorial, we are demonstrating how to setup a enclosure for an Adult Carpet Python. In particular Morelia Spilota Variegata (Darwin Carpet python or Top End python).
Australian Carpet Pythons are generally semi-arboreal and need more floor space rather than enclosure height. As a general rule, Adult carpet pythons will grow between 6-8 foot long. We recommend that you use a 120x60x60cm (4'x2'x2') enclosure. Enclosures taller than 120cm (4') tall, are hard to heat and typically not suitable.
Ensure that and heat lights are covered with mesh cages so that the snake doesn't get burnt if it coils around the globe. We always recommend that any heat source should be regulated by a thermostat.
Ideal substrates for carpet pythons are as follows:
* Coarse Pine bark,
* Eucalyptus Mulch,
* Recycled paper Kitty Litter,
* Chipsi,
* Aspen bedding,
* Critter Crumble.
All snakes need a hide at least on the hot side and if you have the space, place a hide on the cool side too.
When using natural logs and branches, ensure that you thoroughly wash them to remove any mites, ants, spiders and ticks. This can be achieved by treating with boiling water and when dried, spray with MacMite.
We are reptile breeders in Western Sydney and this channel is to educate our customers and followers. The reptiles that we breed are Central Bearded Dragons, Pygmy Bearded dragons, Knob tail geckos, Northern Velvet Geckos, blue tongue lizards and Carpet Pythons.

    I have a female beardie, idk if she gets these because I’ve only had her a year and got her from my mom due to my mom moving to a place that doesn’t allow any pets. I’m learning everyday and have made her terrarium tank to my best abilities to match her and be safe. I do research but I’ve only seen males get theirs popped so I don’t know if it’s a male thing or for both males and females.

    3 years late, but I have a question! A little unusual I know, but my blue tongues (2 adults) live together. The tank they have is a little small, but I don’t have room for. A bigger one, and therefore want to utilise the higher space of their tank (I think the tank we have is designed for geckos since it’s give or take a 70x40x40 tank). Would this set up work for two lizards? They love living together and sleep next to each other, so I want to provide them areas to bask/eat/sleep together. I know that blue tongues aren’t really climbers, but would it be worth investing in a platform of some sort so they have the option of climbing if they like? My youngest (9) has cancer of the mouth, so I want to make her last years special as possible. Love the video thanks man

    I've got a leopard gecko. About a month ago, it started shedding its skin, but it was very patchy and it wasn't eating. Other than the skin, it looked very nice and healthy, I took it to the vet, who removed all the skin but that either caused skin damage or uncovered dermatitis, so they gave us 3 medications: a silver-based cream for the dermatitis, 4 syringes to inject 1 every 3 days, and a needle-less syringe to feed a drop of to the gecko every 5 days. The vet commented on how healthy the gecko was. Unfortunately, it's continued to molt and not eat, and has shed a lot of its fat on its body and tail. I can't keep going to the vet as I lost my job. I don't know what to do. Any advice is much appreciated!

Have bought a large enclosure but I’m very tempted now to just go with your suggested set up for the first year. Would there be any issue putting the plastic container inside the larger enclosure (without the glass doors) so we can use the heat mat insure the enclosure, or would you recommend against that?

    It says on the F10 bottle that you're supposed to just spray it on and leave it without rinsing. I'm hesitant to do that because beardies lick everything in their enclosure. And I mix it to super Coccidia strength which is stronger than the strongest ratio on the bottle. Do you normally rinse the F10 off?

I tried setting it to 32 but it still wouldn't go up. My bluey is burrowing because it is too cold. Why is this the case? Am I using the thermostat incorrectly? The probe is 1/3rd of the way from the basking lamp (warm side).
