That's amazing!

Stunning bud, it's epic cool

Can't wrap my head around the effort you put into designing the room, but then keep the snakes in bare cages lined with paper and cardboard. Feels like efforts should be reversed...

As mentioned in the video. Crazy right but for a hygiene and monitoring aspect, itt is the way to go for me. When you have the only genetic pool in the world, you have to be careful. I am happy to say all has worked out, and there is more albinos now. I can still put them on substrate and make cool hides etc. I have designed the cages to hold water so I can go bio active. So many people have lost Gaboons failing to raise them to adulthood. I still have all 20 from babies, now adults and breeding.

@@reptilegarden I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Unless I misinterpreted, the gene pool you are referring to is albino. Not even going to get into the biological discrepancy of calling an albino gene pool as something that holds biological value and needs to be preserved. But the hygiene and monitoring aspect on the other hand, as someone who keeps snakes, lizards, turtles and tortoises, I am still baffled on how this is still something that is religiously being followed within the snake community. All other parts of the reptile hobby have (luckily) moved (far) away. Besides convenience for the keeper, there is absolutely no reason to keep them that way. If they get sick in a naturalistic enclosure, that has nothing to do with the decoration, but everything to do with the owners lack of knowledge and experience. When it comes to raising snakes, simply let the size of your naturalistic enclosure grow with the snake. You'll actually end up with a much more (stress) resilient adult.

@Adriaan Verhelle for sure we going to have to agree to disagree. Each to their own. I keep over 80 species of reptile and these are pretty much the only ones on paper besides hatchling snakes. Substrate would be way easier as I don't have any fun rolling out paper and folding it to fit these cages. Most of my cages are bio active, which is a pleasure to work with.
