Which enclosure for young IJ?

[valkea]

So I picked up a PVC enclosure that's 24" x 24" x 18" with two perches, intending it to be an enclosure for my Irian Jaya Jag while she's growing.



As I brought it into my house I managed to drop both sliding glass panels onto the floor and broke one. I'm having a replacement made (will be picking it up tomorrow).

Then I spotted a big exoterra for sale for 50$. Now I'm generally not a huge fan of them. I find them super heavy and annoying to move (I'm a short lady and it's hard to get a good grip on them haha, not to mention this one is a little bit longer than half my height). But 50$ was a pretty awesome deal so I grabbed it. And managed to get it inside and upstairs without shattering it. Success.



Dog for scale? Ha.

So I was planning on putting my kingsnake in the exo but I didn't realize it was going to be *that* big. My friend keeps telling me to put my carpet in there and the king in the PVC.

Thoughts? Maybe I just need to get another snake to go in this one...

Oh and this is Sacha

She tried to eat my hand. I'm not sure how big she is / how much she weighs because, well, she bites a lot still. We're working on that.



She may appear a bit bigger than she is. I have small hands. This snake below is 260 grams


Anyways. Thanks in advance!

Nice looking carpet and hoggie Val. Your carpet looks like a real spitfire. Hopefully she'll calm down for you soon. I'd probably put the carpet in the enclosure with the most height. I love watching them climb, move and perch in the trees .

I agree with ziggy, having tall enclosures with a snake that actually uses the hight is great! gorgeous animals Sacha has my kind of personality

Two lovely snakes you have there Val and you know what I'm already gonna say about the vivs

Thank you for the replies everyone! I appreciate it

The glass one is slightly shorter than the pvc so I'll put Sacha into the pvc! Once she's in there I'll be making a point to handle her more often and (hopefully) calm her down haha. She's super fun to watch. The plan is to build her a big custom viv for when she's bigger with lots of height.

And thank you everyone for the comments on the snakes! I'm real fond of them both. Sacha definitely is a spitfire!
