Very nice enclosure you have! What a snake as well. Are these natural enclosures more common around Holland and the other European countries? It seems many venomous keepers have wonderfull natural display cages compared to the American racks and tubs.
Hello MGiddinngs,
I do regonize the avatar
Thanks guys for nice comments
You see it more often that enclosures are really nice with life plants etc. But its more in the venomous community in Holland than in the non venomous.
THe Germans are the absolute best in making and creating nice enclosure, many venomouskeepers from Scandinavian countries as well and I know lots of people from Swiss and luxemburg that also keep there snakes in natural enclosures.
Myself use all kind of plants but some even try to find plants that are really out of the catching range of the snake.
in my opinion the snake and the enclosure is 1 thing I do not like to watch snake behaviour on yesterdaysnewspaper in a plastic box. I do know and realize the snake does not mind, but on the other hand I see some pretty amazing behaviour in my enclosure. And I will often mis movies or tv shows because the snakes are far more interesting
For the guys that can read Dutch as it close to Afrikaans have look at

My way of keeping snakes and the way I handle them is my way and not to copy or taken as example. Working with venomoussnakes can be risk with deadly ending.
