You enjoy SEEING your snakes... but you own one of the most secretive reptiles in the world, whose idea of a terrible day is to be SEEN!

Also, you are simply not being creative enough in your vivarium ideas.

You seem like you have the snakes interests at heart so I will give you advice... If you want a display animal then you picked the wrong species. If seeing is the main importance for you than pick a more active open species to work with. If you enjoy pyros, and you truly want to care for them in a way that is good for THEM, then you will have to sacrifice some visual encounters.

Make a naturalistic terrarium with a deep substrate and numerous rock piles. The terrarium itself should be visually pleasing too and seeing the snake is just a bonus.

I put a baby cal king in this 10 gallon right next to my bed. He did AWESOME in it. At first I never saw him. As he grew and I learned his schedule I would see him every few days.



Another idea for you... ditch those "hide boxes" They do almost nothing. replace with flat boards, flat stones, anything else
