Finally finished the enclosure and the snake is all settled in. Dimensions are roughly 6ft long x 3ft wide x 2ft high. I ended up going with a RHP controlled by the herpstat nd for the heat source. The snake loves his new home and spends quite a bit of time on the walls!

Some pictures....ENJOY!

Thanks for all of the compliments guys. The only thing I would do different that I could pass on to everybody is to use real glass instead of the plexi glass that I used. I used 1/4" plexi but I'm finding it is warping....maybe from the increased temperatures / humidity? Anyways, when it gets too scratched up, I will replace it with real glass.

I actually intended to use cypress mulch as I think it is an excellent choice of substrate but it is higher maintenance....and quite a bit of mulch on a monthly basis.

The snake wasn't to thrilled at first but I do notice now, he has a lot better feeding response. I think it is because I am able to control the temperatures/humidity much better now.

If you want a great natural substrate try the coco coir. I think that is what it is called. it is dried and compressed coconut fibers it is like a nice dirt but not a muddy mess and it is cheap.
