240: He Turned His Bedroom Into a Free-Roam Snake Enclosure! | The Reptile Studio - AAH

05 Dec 2025

Description

Greg Bartucca of The Reptile Studio discusses the dedicated room in his house for his Carpet Python, Daria, as well as all of the ins and outs surrounding how he made the room work. Greg dives into topics surrounding proper husbandry of snakes, offering them more space and enrichment opportunities, and his overall thoughts about advancing basic reptile care. Greg talks about how he “snake-proofed” the room, ensuring that Daria does not injure herself while free-roaming the room, as well as tidbits about surveillance, lighting setups, and tips for digestion. We also discuss in-depth about Greg’s recent mite problem in his reptile room and the very interesting method for combating it.SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/240-reptile-studio/SPONSORS:Visit Fauna-Lux Here: https://fauna-lux.com/Visit The BioDude: https://www.thebiodude.com/ JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/animalsathomeLINKS FROM THE EPISODE:Link to Snake Mite Info: https://tomaskas.co.uk/snakemitetreatment/Greg’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thereptilestudiohttps://www.youtube.com/@UCbckZXUp2OXClUHEI1_l5rA Photos and Video in Episode:Provided by Greg0:00 Introducing Greg Bartucca 1:55 The Bio Dude2:30 Welcome Greg + Getting Into The Hobby6:16 Greg’s Species Currently7:31 All About The Snake Room + Snake Proofing15:50 Daria’s Behavior + Eating Habits19:24 Dealing With Snake Poop21:10 Digestion After Feeding22:56 Losing Daria in The Room?25:31 True Chroma by Faunalux27:05 Surveillance For The Room28:08 Recommendations For Replication of Free Range Snakes36:14 The Bio Dude Substrates + Bug Grub37:15 All About Greg’s Mite Problem57:06 Enclosure Inspiration For His Other Reptiles1:01:00 Enrichment Talks in Round Table Episode1:05:00 Closing Thoughts
