Snake (The Saga Continues)

[kiyakotari]

Having researched even more in the past few days, I've definitely settled on the larger Exo Terra PT-2607 (18x18x24 inch) terrarium, but I've decided against trying to incorporate live plants into the environment at this point. The humidity and temperature levels for this particular species of snake are rather specific, and I don't want to try to also manage the needs of the plants at the same time. Maybe once I've had it for a year or two, I will be better equipped to balance the requirements of both snake and plant health. For now, though, it will be artificial plants only.

The reptile dealer I've been speaking to is checking the sexes of his Rough Greens today (I want a male) and will be getting back to me.

Things have been so crazy recently that I totally missed that you were getting a snake. I love snakes! I'm looking forward to seeing your new guy!

It'll probably be a couple weeks yet - I want the terrarium ready to go before the snake arrives. But I'm sure I'll be posting plenty of pictures of him once he's here and settling in.
