Alright so me and my buddy are looking into doing some large scale veiled breeding. We already heavy into Ball Python morph breeding and were looking into expanding to Veileds.
We got 2 concepts of an enclosure on the table. Our location central south florida.
concept 1:
A 20 ft x 30-40ft 12ft tall screen fence that would encircle some trees and what not on the property. having the fence go 2 foot underground and at the top haveing a 2 foot wide section of plastic. (to prevent them from crawling over the top and getting out).
This is an open top enclosure that would allow insects and other critters in to minimize feedings.
concept 2:
A 12ft x 25ft 12ft tall greenhouse. It would have 4 windows that would open that have screens to keep them in. There would be a stone path that goes threw the enclosure with elevated flower beds where they can lay eggs. A misting system would be run across the top and set on a timer for a simulated rain inside the greenhouse.
Personally im goin towards the greenhouse idea. It seems to be a more secure and controlled enclosure. Looking at putting 10 females and 3 males in this one. We would be have to release around 1000 crickets per month into this enclosure.
Any ideas and thoughts are greatly appreciated.
