Full transcript

1. 0:11hey guys Riley here thanks for joining
2. 0:13me again this week and this week I
3. 0:16wanted to talk a little bit about carpet
4. 0:18python husbandry
5. 0:20so most people express some concerns
6. 0:24about their size as kind of the one
7. 0:27major concern and this right here is an
8. 0:30adult male zebra jungle this animal is
9. 0:34right around three gonna be three and a
10. 0:36half years old this year and obviously
11. 0:39he will grow a little bit more but not
12. 0:42the ton and most carpet pythons adult
13. 0:46males stay in the 4 to 6 foot range and
14. 0:49females in the 5 to 7 foot range there's
15. 0:52always exceptions to that rule so behind
16. 0:54me are a variety of different caging
17. 0:56options and I keep animals and tubs and
18. 1:01in enclosures depending on their size
19. 1:04and requirements an animal like this at
20. 1:08his size is in a 32 quart tub but is
21. 1:13going to be graduating up to a forty one
22. 1:16quart and that will likely be where he
23. 1:17spends his adulthood adult females
24. 1:20typically move into the 4-foot animal
25. 1:23plastic cages behind me those are the t8
26. 1:26models the teat ends are a little bit
27. 1:28taller and as you go up a number so on
28. 1:30and so forth so you can really get
29. 1:32creative there perching options
30. 1:33shelving options different door options
31. 1:36so you can really go as elaborate as you
32. 1:38want so adult males are gonna live in
33. 1:43sea b70 tubs or 41 quart tubs whichever
34. 1:47rack I'm referring to two-year-olds year
35. 1:51to a year and a half to two year-olds or
36. 1:53in 32 quarts hatchlings obviously
37. 1:55starting six quart tubs and then you
38. 1:58know around a year or so they're moving
39. 2:00into 15 quarts and so on and so the
40. 2:04progression goes on as far as their
41. 2:07temperatures go kind of basic husbandry
42. 2:11for pythons I keep their hot spot around
43. 2:1387 88 and let the ambient other room
44. 2:16dictate a thermal gradient so the cool
45. 2:19kind of goes around high 70s and that's
46. 2:23pretty good for them for the most part I
47. 2:25don't do much for humidity unless it
48. 2:29gets dry like it has been here and then
49. 2:33I run a humidifier but otherwise my
50. 2:34thumbs are pretty good the humidifier
51. 2:37run is is for some of my other species
52. 2:39to be honest
53. 2:40other than that keep them clean
54. 2:43giving fresh water somewhere to hide if
55. 2:46you'd like to give them vertically
56. 2:47oriented enclosure some will use it and
57. 2:49all of them I've offered some my adults
58. 2:52in those four footers perching options
59. 2:54they ignore them
60. 2:55so to each his own but otherwise they're
61. 2:59pretty Hardy animals pretty tough you
62. 3:01don't need to spray them down they
63. 3:03usually have no shed issues their
64. 3:05garbage disposals when it comes to food
65. 3:07and right around 2 years old if you've
66. 3:10got an animal it's a little difficult to
67. 3:12handle they start milling out and
68. 3:14figuring you out so don't worry if
69. 3:17you've got a voracious eater that's a
70. 3:20little hungry too often this guy started
71. 3:25out that way and much of my collection
72. 3:26has so anyway I figured I'd go over a
73. 3:30little bit of the husbandry housing care
74. 3:33if anybody has any question to be on
75. 3:36that feel free to let me know babies and
76. 3:38groups and rats adults I tend to put
77. 3:40adult females in class four engages four
78. 3:42footers oh yeah to each his own do what
79. 3:46works for you anyway cheers guys thanks
