I recently moved my adult pair of Irian Jaya carpets in to their new home, hopefully they'll hook up soon

Nice setup!! What are the dimensions on it? And Can you describe the layout inside? Its kind of crowded to tell... I'm building a cage for my coastal soon, and after seeing yours I might change some things

I like your pick of plants, and placement as well.

What type of lighting are you using for them? Any other tips on keeping plants alive in there?

I've also got a flourscent 28" fixture that is burnt out right now that isn't shown, but can be seen in the rest of my photo album pics.

I have found that 1. Carpet Pythons do not appriciate live plants as they crawl over them till they die
2. Conditions for life for plants (and rats!) are not adaquate, probably due to light.

Here is a pic of my now barren Coastal's cage. It is only about 13 months old (the cage), and was green and lush, and the plants have been picked off one by one. Only two survive, and only one of the two are actually growing, the forest bamboo.
