How I Made A Naturalistic Snake Enclosure! 

Cheers for hooking it up 😉 thanks mate!

Thanks mate got heaps of ideas for this build from Luke and others!

The more we all do it the more we can learn off each other! I have a build inspired very much by Coop’s build in the works!

Awesome! I'm glad you found it helpful!!

Thanks! Yeah that’s something I’ve always done I didn’t even think to mention it haha

Thanks! They are always watching your every move

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

Thanks! Best of luck I'd love to see how you go!

Glad it was helpful! Beardies love extra climbing space!

Thanks good luck!

Did you end up doing a background? I am nervous about doing one. Not sure if we have tile pointing or oxide here but I will look.

@@amandastakeonit7402 I did actually! Unfortunately it’s not completely finished still, because I decided moving my reptile into his bigger enclosure was priority at the time. I still plan to finish the background though. Everything except the coats of tile pointing and oxide is done. It all went well. I’d say just watch plenty of tutorials and you have nothing to worry about. The more I think about it the more I am glad I’m making one. I’ll update you to say how the rest of it goes if youll want to know?

Thank you so much! Glad you have gained value from my content I appreciate it! Hopefully a wider audience can jump on as it gets spread around!

@@coopsreptiles2588 one question, what are the dimensions of the pygmy python enclosure? is it a 60cm w x 60cm h x 45m d? it's not totally clear from the video.

@@eyelovelamp1 Yep you got it

Awesome! I wish i was able to keep those! Thank you!

Do to keep shinosaurus like the one in your profile pic.

No this isn’t my shinisauras but I’m planning on getting some

@@haydenlucas2986 aah ok

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Stimmy's would love it!

Thanks! for my builds I leave a small gap at the bottom of the background for substrate so its very easy to clean! If I needed to seal it I would probably paint it with pond sealer and then add some more pointing on top!

Thanks I will!

Nice suggestions! I was going to use a wire wheel but I didn't want the mess!

@@coopsreptiles2588 Yeah I tried a wire wheel and it was horrible, wouldn't recommend. But a straigh diamond blade like the ones they make for cutting tiles works real well not too much mess the time it takes to clean up the small amount you save in how fast the blades eat through the foam

I'll have to try it out sounds great!

They are just foam boards from Bunnings 👍

It certainly takes a lot of time! But worth it if you stick with it!

@@coopsreptiles2588 I will definetly try that for my future build, I have a small enclosure that I plan for Antaresia, so this was the perfect manual 😁

Oh dang! I meant to say how great it looks and I definitely will make some of my own rock hides! Between you and Luke I do have that much courage! ;) I will add the foam wire cutter and solder iron to my cart tonight.

You can try but it might not be as solid and may be harder to carve detail into

Thank you and Centralian what exactly?

@@coopsreptiles2588 sorry mate should have clarified haha centralian carpet python

All good! No I don't have any of those but they are a beautiful snake! Get a little large for my liking I'd rather dedicate that space to some other stuff!

@@coopsreptiles2588 yeah fair enough👍 was looking for some ideas for a large enclosure haha You've sold me on the alpine blotched skinks though lol I need to get one of those

Its desert sand and crushed granite

@@coopsreptiles2588thanks for the quick reply! so dessert sand frm a pet shop? Where do you find crushed granite? I assume it's ok for a spotted python as well? I'm in the process of making my background too and awaiting to go to bunnings once lockdown is over here in SA

@@ezy2kill I'd probably just use something like eucy mulch for a spotted! They aren't really a desert animal

@@coopsreptiles2588 sadly can't seem to find any eucy mulch in Bunnings here in SA. I bought sugar cane mulch but it didn't look as nice unfortunately 😕

@@ezy2kill Try coir peat if you can get it

Yeah just from private breeders/sellers. they aren't as common to see available

@@coopsreptiles2588any recommendation from someone you know or got it from? Cheers!

You could use grout or something like that

@@coopsreptiles2588 thank you so much

Such as?

cactuses or socolents@@coopsreptiles2588

Haha I couldn't Leave Australia even if I wanted to
