Wilton's New Palace

[Monty]

Hi all

Just a little update on our not so little pet snake Wilton. He was moved into his new enclosure at our house last Monday and has settled in very well. He is loving the heat lamp and all the fun places to explore in his enclosure. Ash (the cat) isn't so thrilled however...

Wilton's Enclosure (built by OH):

Ash is very scared of Wilton (naturally) and is still getting used to him hiding. Sometimes I think he thinks that Wilton got out and is coming to get him poor fella...He's getting better tho.

That's a great enclosure! I can't see him in the first picture, is he in there?

Poor Ash, though, must be a bit freaky for him when Wilton's hiding.

Naomi I think he is hiding in his favourite place - the log (right side of enclosure).

I was pretty proud of OH for building it, it cost him a lot less than buying one. I said he should go into business doing it!

I'm with Ash! Too Scary LOL

Very impressed at his new home - congrats to the OH ;)

Wilton's new abode looks wonderful. They can surprise themselves sometimes, when they actually get around to doing something LOL.

Poor Ash, is he getting used to the company of his brother LOL

Hmmm Monty, Adam was very impressed by the enclosure and by the reptile inhabitant....I can say I was NOT...I really don't like snakes...he better not start getting any ideas about building one too!

Heheh Wilton is getting used to Ash but not the other way around.. I guess that is basic instinct for the cat. Last night he swatted at the glass and scared Wilton off!! He got in big trouble from daddy LOL. No paws on the glass!!

Patricia, do you have a phobia of snakes? They really are lovely creatures, especially if you handle them a lot when they are young. I'd have to say tho that I couldn't have pet tarantula spiders... I saw some at the pet shop a while ago and just freaked. I really do have a phobia of arachnids unfortunately LOL.
