Hi Again everyone
Been reading a lot about housing royal pythons. I will be housing it in a 4x2x2 when fully grown. As a baby, is it ok to keep it in a flat faunarium? Its about 1.5 foot long, 1 foot deep and 15cm's high. A heat mat on a stat will be covering 1/2 of the tank. I am unsure of substrate, but am thinking about using lino or table cloth?

2 hides will be provided, one in the cool end, and one in the warm end. I have an exo terra medium water bowl which will be in the cool end. I will also provide a branch/log to aid with shedding.

If anyone could let me know if this is OK.

Thank You
Aoife x

Everything sounds fine. For the substrate I would use kitchen roll until its in a viv, then aspen/hemp when its in the viv.

I have mine in a flat faun, I find them quite good for young snakes.

Meant to say...
I'm also joining the corn snake forum, to also learn more about them. (even though I've owned one before!!)
