Re: My Russian Rat Snake...s (Pics)

My adults were well over 5 feet and so gentle. I let kids handle them.

Re: My Russian Rat Snake...s (Pics)

Are adults typically active like corn snakes, or more inclined to hang out like boas or pythons?

Re: My Russian Rat Snake...s (Pics)

They rather more active than corns, that's the reason I choose russians

Re: My Russian Rat Snake...s (Pics)

So we finally did terrarium for her I must add bedding and the plants must grow, but it will be something like this (sorry for quality, but I take some photos in a hurry.
It take us something like 3 days to do (but there were really long pauses, haha!)

And the colors are rather light because in dark terrarium black snake will be totally invisible.

Gorgeous terrarium. What size is it? Any worries about humidity being a bit high?

Re: My Russian Rat Snake...s (Pics)

No, there are a big cracks between glass and wood, and Russians rather don't need high humidity, so a water bowl should not produce so much moisture. But if something will be bad then we always can rebuild it
And about size it's about 20,5 x 18 x 29h (inch), there is still one more shelf that we can remodel and add to terrarium when the snake grows.

Re: My Russian Rat Snake...s (Pics)

We added some small holes in wood for better ventilation, and Arty is already enjoying her new home

Re: My Russian Rat Snake...s (Pics)

What type of paint did you use over the spray foam?

Re: My Russian Rat Snake...s (Pics)

It's called "Fly Color, Acryl Base" in spray. We use this in fish aquariums too and it's completely safe after drying.

Do you have to put any type of sealant over it? Nice background & cool snake.

No, just spray it and let it dry It's totally water proof. And thank you!
