New 7ft Tall Carpet Python enclosure.
Started work on my new Carpet Python enclosure. Most of the enclosure will be filled with sprayfoam "rockwalls". Going to be planted and it will have a waterfall feature. The containers will be pools that overflow into a reservoir down below. More to come later!

Re: New 7ft Tall Carpet Python enclosure.
Floor dimensions are 2x4. From the bottom platform it is about 5 ft tall. Anyone know of a better way to spray foam the inside? I'm just using cans of spray foam now and it looks like it will take quite a few of them.. I've used 2 full cans now and haven't even covered 1/5th of the tank. This might get a bit expensive..

Re: New 7ft Tall Carpet Python enclosure.
Do you only want to use foam? I'd use a combination of some foam, corkbark(either with silicone or foam), some substrate(ecoearth on silicone/foam works great)

Re: New 7ft Tall Carpet Python enclosure.
Using Styrofoam blocks for structures but most of the tank will be covered in spray foam.

Re: New 7ft Tall Carpet Python enclosure.
The Styrofoam blocks will make a cave under the waterfall.

Re: New 7ft Tall Carpet Python enclosure.
You can buy the foam in the big green cans that look like propane tanks at home depot or other major hardware stores

Re: New 7ft Tall Carpet Python enclosure.
How do you plan to provide heat and/or basking spots! Awesome build!

Going to build one of the shelves with a head pad inside that I will hopefully be able to have access to. Going to carve hole in the "rock work" and put lights in them angled for display and the plants. Haven't figured out what plants to use yet though. The plants will all be potted in the rock walls.
