Re: Enclosure for a Nelson's Milksnake
Stephanbakir touched on everything, but why would you stay away from a Glass Terrarium w/ a screen top? As long as the snake has a temperature gradient to get to I do not see a problem with that type of set up. If using a glass terrarium you can either use a UTH underneath or on the side or back. If using UTH underneath I would suggest putting a thermostat on it to make sure you can keep a temperature of no more than 95 degrees. Even though there are people that offer temperature gradients between 70-100 and have good results. The larger the temperature gradient the better, your snake will pick what suits him best.
No real need for branches but for visual apperance its no problem, he/she may use at times. Hides are key and multiple hides in different areas are best. Moist hides are good also especially if your humidity levels are real low. Nelsoni are hardy animals, and good luck with it!
