Default a few new contortrix pics

she got her first taste of a semi proper set up today, still on paper until shes eaten a couple of times though.



I got this idea from one of viper keepers videos a while back, and it seemed like a good idea so I have tried it out, see how it goes.

and the freindly little thing herself, her name is Cow, dont ask

That is a very attractive little snake there! Nice!

I agree that the whole "hoop above the hide box" makes a lot of sense. Anything that minimises actual close contact with the snake is just a little extra bit of insurance against an accident.

good question mate, the vent has a piece of rubber tapped over it with this white tape that they use at my dads work, to tape up wiring looms on helicopters, put it like this I couldnt even peel it off a viv the other day, so the rubber is taped on with that, then ontop of the rubber, is a titanium plate stuck on with this same tape, so its impossible for the snake to get off, and bloody hard for me to peel off
