Coconut Shells

[DonLisk]

Don, I loved your whites viv. How big is it? Pict makes it look soo huge. I used silicone to attach birch shelf musrooms(somewhat eddible) to glass and groups of pebble together ( so I wouldn't worry about impaction) I rinse in water after dry. That way I got the jade pebble I love.

Thanks... internally it is 31 inch width x 17 inch deep x 22 inch high.
It was a custom built enclosure with a large built in heating pad for an Old Ball Python I had 10 plus years ago.

I'll seal the coconut shell this weekend. I just added a huge piece of live sheet moss to the center on the viv so the Whites will hopefully inhale less plantation soil :-)

don, how'd your shell work out. Looks cool I bet. Ya that's still a big terrarium. But I looked again. It looks bigger than that. I hope to have one like yours some day. I'm new to whites, and had another member ask about size. What size are yours and if u can give an idea of growth time line. Even a guesstimate would be good. And am I right that there's larger and smaller strains of WTF. Mahalo-G

Three of my Whites are about 3 to 3 1/2 inches from nose to butt. One is only about 2 1/4 inch and is a slow grower. Not sure on age but I bought them when they were about 1 to 1 1/2 inches and that was in late September I believe. They grow pretty quickly.

The enclosure does look big and that is mostly because of the outer wood casing which one side adds at least 6 inches to the side for wiring and controlers (which I only have switches in now).


As for the shell, I baked it but the silicone I have won't stick well.
I eventually get it to work and its vacation week for me so plenty of time to have some fun.

Just saw u were still on. Thaught I'd say hi and thanks for info. I found a good silicone at Walmart that was heat safe. Since I had silconed rocks together that would be over my heat mat. Got a couple extra degrees from my rock radiator. I wanted to thanks for your great Picts and make sure u post after coconuts are in.
