So, yeah this is my new snakey friend. Took a lot of thought about the name, but ended up with Cleo. Used the name Cleo after Cleopatra who was said to keep snakes around her wrist like bracelets.
Just a quick photo of the setup. Thinking of putting something else in there as there is space... She seems to love hiding behind the wooden tube, just under the plant I put in there. As you can see, I have a:
medium exo terra hide
small wooden hide (designed for rodents but she loves it)
exo terra water bowl
plastic plant
bark substrate
the dial is a hydrometer and a digital thermometer
and obviously heat mat and stat
Quick question. I just measured her, she came out at about 18-20" how old would you say she was? |

| Ha! That's a damn good idea! Although it did take MONTHS of persuasion to get the parents to agree for me to get Cleo. And for the sake of about 30p I don't think they'll be up for that... lol |
