Re: My White Oak Grey Rat Snake.

I think 4 x 3 x 3 would be a great size.

Lol I love the paper roll idea. Must make the enclosure seem bigger than it is to your snake with all those nooks and crannies to get into.

Heh, he loves them too. I did take a precautionary measure and cut the tubes so there was no chance of him getting stuck.

Though I want to put him in a larger enclosure, I think he's pretty comfortable in his current set up. It's still pretty roomy and he has a lot of useable space. He can come out of hiding a few times a day, "hunt" for a little while, bask and then go back into hiding. If he gets much bigger though, I think Ill need to put him in a larger enclosure.

Re: My White Oak Grey Rat Snake.

Here are some more pics of the not so little guy.

This is the kind of behavior he displays a frequently. If I had some elevated hides, I'm sure he would be using them. He loves to spend a lot of time in the high spots of his cage.



Here he is after I fed him earlier. You can see the first mouse in his stomach, and the second one in the process of being swallowed. You also get a good idea of his size, in relation to the cage, as well as objects like the paper towel rolls.




What I find interesting is that he seems rather long for the thickness of his body. Proportionally, he's a lot longer than my corn snake of the same age(and similar thickness). And he also has a very long tail. About 5 inches. It's interesting to note the differences even among fairly similar species.
