Hi Gaz,

We use the largest of the Fauns for our two. They should do until the snakes are around 2 1/2 feet long. We're then going to upgrade to 3 ft vivs and possibly either partition part of it off, or pack out with lots of hides.

Thats good news.

I will get one of those large Fauns then.

Why will you be partitioning the 3 foot viv off? Is this so they dont get too scared?

Thanks alot

Possibly a heavy piece of card will be used to partition. I think we'll try packing the viv with hides first, and if that doesn't work then we'll try partitioning.

The main reason for this is that the snakes may go off their food due to the extra space. They like to be in quite cramped conditions really, so a jump in the amount of space can freak them out a little! Lol

However, our two aren't too bad as they didn't go off their food when upgraded into the large fauns, so hopefully partitioning won't be required. We'll see how they react to the larger space and make a decision nearer the time.

They've got one each, and are sharing a mat/stat. It's the largest flat faun that's approx 18" x 11" x 6". The largest faun has two door compartments, while all others only have one.

Awesome, thats what im going to get her at the weekend then.

You think this will last her untill shes about 2.5 feet long? Then move into a well sheltered 3' Viv?

Thanks

That should be fine for her until around 2 1/2 feet (if not slightly more). We didn't get the smaller fauns, they just went straight into the large fauns from their little sandwich boxes with no problems. We considered getting smaller vivs in between the faun and large viv, but not too sure if it's worth the expense for the length of time that they'll actually require them for.

As long as the large viv is well packed out or partitioned, she should be absolutely fine.

We're sure she'll enjoy her nice new faun!
