>>Hi i do not have a corn snake but of course i want the cage before the snake.
>>Here is my idea
>>A 30 gal long or standard tank, take off the upper rim and raise the floor of the tank with pleziglass to about an inch.
>>then have a sunken in digging pit for the snake that goes to the original tank botton allowing the pit to be 1 inch deep
My year-old corns are already 3/4" thick, so an inch deep pit won't last very long. They'd probably get whatever digging stuff there is all over the rest of the cage. What kind of stuff are you thinking of putting in the hole?
, at the other corner there will be a sunken swimming pool, there will be various plants(2 prolly) that will also be sunken in.......Basicly most things in the tank will be sunken in a bit so for instance the food dish
what food dish? I feed my corns out of their cage, but even if you don't, they will most likely just drag it out to wherever the want to eat. a built-in food dish for a once-a-week feeding is kind of a waste anyway
will be hanging on the circle in the plexiglass for it and i could easily take out the dis to clean....general bedding would be provided by repti carpet, and don't worry there will be hideing spots. there will be hiding spots in opposite corners as well as the pool and digging area in oposite corners. Would this work, there will be an undertanke heater in the digging side of the tank.
>>Any input as to suggestions or praise is greatly appreciated, THX
>>Demon
Well, it could probably be done, but overall seems quite complicated and with the built-in stuff, a snake could grow out of it quickly.
Also, if you're cleaning carpet with just water, it will probably start to stink real bad after a couple poops. Water, unless it's very hot, will not kill bacteria and other unwanteds.
I would just ditch the whole sunken-in bit and use a diggable substrate (aspen, reptibark, etc.) in the entire tank.
