The Snake Enclosure

So I've finally pulled my finger out and started some work on something that's needed doing for a while. Phoenix, our jungle carpet python, is growing and getting too large for his current glass tank. That's him on the right. He was burnt by previous owners, someone I know rehabilitated him but needed to rehome him when they moved so we took him on. 

I picked up this enclosure free a while back. It seemed like a quick and easy upgrade since it had already been in use. Give it a clean, whack the snake in, good to go! 

Sadly that wasn't the case. Interior still had a lot of crap in the bottom. Old substrate, excrement, dirt. It was grotty. 

Worse was that while it looks nice on the outside, it's been slapped together without a lot of thought to what's going in it.
