Hi new here, just reading up on hubandry ect, i have a heated/insulated shed used for a couple of Leopard tort's, with extra room, and was wondering if this would be a good/bad environment to house a viv, realise the temp's have to be right for the viv.
Anyone keep in this way or are all housed indoors.
Thank's Paul. |

You would be able to keep the snakes in the shed as long as the temps in their viv are ok. That shouldn't pose a problem because you would be using a heat source (mat or guarded lamp) along with a thermostat and thermometre to regulate the inside of the vivs. I don't see why it makes any difference if it's a heated shed or a heated house!

| Just make sure they can't escape the viv though cos I'm sure it will be much harder to find an escaped snake in a garden than it will be in a house. |

| Thank's for the info, may have to rethink and keep the viv in the house. As the temp's in the shed can reach 100f sometimes for the Leo tort's. |

| Ah yeah thats a bit too hot. You might be able to keep a more tropical sort of snake up there though. |

| If the ambient temps are 100f then its too hot for even tropicals, they need a cool end of a max of 80, even that's probably a little high! |
