New Arrivals! (Black Headed Pythons )

They're beautiful, and I love their enclosures. I have a hard time walking away from BHPs when I see them, and womas. I just don't have the space for them currently, but I'd love to own one, or both, eventually.

Maybe post some full shots of the enclosures, if you feel like it? I like when people put effort into replicating the natural habitat of their animals, you get a much better range of "natural" behaviors.

Here is a video showing the full enclosure, check the 8th minute.

very nice. To the OP: If they're basking most of the time, try giving them more heat. These animals do not like basking; they are vulnerable to predation, so the best thing is a get in, get hot, and get out. Give them a variety of temperatures, going up pretty high, and let them choose. To the guy who suggested cooling him down: never cool down an animal to make it less aggressive. It just isn't capable of being that energetic if you cool it down too much.

Thanks for the comment. I have increased the heat a little bit and they seem to enjoy it.

Here is an update on the male:
