| @ Nigel: thank you  the enclosures for N. Nivea: 1.5m*60cm*60cm L*D*H and for N. Haje Legionis: 2m*60cm*60cm L*D*......Nivea becomes 5-6 ft...N. Haje legionis 6-7 ft...N. Nigricollis about 8 ft....N. Pallida 4 ft...Rinkhals 3 ft....hehe but you have very nice animals in Australia to i mean Death adders and copperheads and Red belly black snake is not something to be ashamed of  @ Israel: they are just planted in the substrate..yes iam very satisfeid with the result almost all things in the enclosure are taken in nature. not the substrate but stones,plants,branches | |

| Sorry for so many questions, Sebastian, but I have another one for you: how do you deal with parasites when you take that plants from the field? | |

| @ israel: no problems I usually shake the plants so all soil and other fields of. and I've never heard anyone who had problems with parasites from something they have taken from nature. but if someone who has had problems with parasites from the things they took from nature so they may as well tell how they stopped the problem because I have so far not happened to | |

| Mmmm... I have been in some of the Cape cobra environments and with the exception of fynbos (which I love, with all those different plants), these scrub, dry-savannah habitats dominated by weeds like yours are, for me, the most eye-appealing to reconstruct in a vivarium for the species. Good idea for my future vivs... | |

| yes it is much more fun to watch the animals in an environment so similar that they live in as possible and I even think that there are studies that they actually feel much better in a terrarium which is decorated properly yet as some have just newsprint and hiding something. and their natural behavior appears more the better Snake feels comfortable on. so for me it's very important how the interior of the Temperature is on how the animals feel certain it can be a little job of keeping the sometimes but I get so much back so it's worth the effort | |

Would have to agree with you on decorating the terrarium especially on active species. I went over board & gave mine outdoor pits (1.8x1.5x900) & tubs (2.1x2.1x900) suits the elapids I keep, being active as they are theres more room for them to explore & I think the natural conditions provides some enrichment for them-or I'm just a lazy keeper bigger the better clean less often ha ha! | |

| hello piero! thanks a lot! their cages is 2m*60*60 L*D*H and 1,5m*60*60 L*D*H actually, I would have liked them 80 deep instead but this works for a while. But if you are building your own so I recommend 80 deep instead of the place is! Best regards! | |
