New carpet python owner, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Hey guys! I just purchased a jungle carpet python. I know if it's a full jungle it'll be between 5-7 feet, humidity is 50-60%, hot spot of mid 90's, gradient the rest of the enclosure into the 70's.

Iv got a yearling. Planning on putting him in a 4 x 2 x 2 until he outgrow it, then throw him into a 6 x 2 x 4 minimum. My main ask is: please dump your experiences on me with these pythons. If bioactive is the dumbest thing you've ever heard with this species, tell me (I won't listen but yk). If my setup sounds whack, tell me. What setups do you guys do? I use grow tents for my snakes.

Picked up this sassy little queen today

She's a hypo Morelia Bredli, she's gorgeous and wants to murder me and I love her so much 😭

I said I was going to focus on just the one snake when I got back into keeping with my imperator, but I've always adored carpets and had to have her. She is named Misty!

Topsoil?

Im making a bioactive enclosure, is there any topsoil you guys suggest thats available in Aus. Maybe Bunnings or something, I prefer something cheaper cuz im broke.

Enclosure Help/Multi Level

I have a male Bredli growing fast he reached 1yr last month. I recently purchased a 6x2x2 pvc enclosure. It will be bioactive with a radiant heat panel etc…

My question is at what point do you see diminishing returns when it comes to platforms or branches? When the python reaches his max adult size will he eventually just hang out on the ground?

I’m just really struggling to find a way to add branches that he can grow into as an adult or a good layout for the future.

If you have pictures or examples, I will gladly look at them thank you.🙏

We can get her out when she wants to come out of the tank but like when we go take her to the vet we have to wait for her to want to come out to get into to get her into the tub otherwise it's just a real hassle and it takes two or three people to get her into the tub that we use for transport does anyone have any tips

New enclosure

Just finished adding the decorations today and was able to move him in! I know he's small compared to the enclosure, but I know he'll use every inch of it. He was always very active in his last enclosure so I was excited to get him moved into an enclosure where he could explore more.

Attitude!

This is my boy Flippy (don't judge my nephew named him after a Dogman Villian), to your knowledge so these guys get 'teenage' attitude shifts? He's around three, and recently has started being more cage aggressive. Not something he ever used to do. Bitten me twice and he's one that has never done that. And before anyone comes at me, he has an upgrade, its a 6x2x2 from Zen Habitat im waiting on the section that was back ordered. Any advise?
