Spilotes pullatus, finally!
I've been wanting these for years. Santa gave me some money, and in a whim I kind of looked around and I came across a Christmas sale I couldn't pass up. They're imports. I'd much rather have CBB, but I never seem to have the extra cash. So, hopefully these will do well. I now have to get started building their permanent enclosure.
This is the female right after I unboxed her. The male is very similar, but a little smaller. I assume they came from Guyana.

Re: Spilotes pullatus, finally!
Looks like a very nice set up. So is it 6x3x3? How are you enjoying your s. pullatus?

The Spilotes section is actually 6'L x 4'H x 3'D.
I'm really liking them. They're still pretty shy. Being wild caught imports doesn't help with that. But, they're really cool snakes. I'm hoping maybe next year I can get some eggs.

It's mostly plywood, with epoxy waterproofing.

Re: Spilotes pullatus, finally!
What are you using for interior heating...RHP? One or mutiple? What's your temp gradient like?
Do you have any close up pics from the inside?
