M. amethistina housing

twillis10 Apr 04, 2011 03:00 PM

I have an 10-11ft scrub that I currently have housed in a large arboreal cage. Well I have a monitor that really needs a larger cage, so I was thinking of moving the scrub to a long vision cage. I was wondering if anyone had any experience in keeping scrub pythons in a terrestrial setup. I dont know the exact dementions of the vision off the top of my head but it is definitely big enough, but its only a little over a foot tall.

I breed mostly amazon tree boas so my gut feeling tells me not to keep an arboreal snake in a terrestrial cage. However I have seen several people keeping scrubs in large rack style caging with no problem. It would make my life a lot easier if I could move it into the vision, but I didn't want to do anything to jeopardize the health or well being of the animal. any info or thought would be greatly appreciated.

Hey,I love your scrub python,it looks like a merauke maybe.I've wanted one for years.I ran across your videos on u-tube,while researching scrub pythons.Great videos thanks for posting them.Seems like you could split your amethystine house in half-top to bottom-and get two lizard homes out of it.It seems like it would be hard to get any -cross-way branches in there with all that glass, or is it plasstic? jenni/
