Where is the best place to look online for a HUGE variety of habitat decor at reasonable prices?

I only have 2 snakes, and prefer very Naturalistic habitats. I currently have a Cloud Forest biome (Black Milk Snake) and a Chaparral Biome (Cal King).

I SELDOM buy accessories; the best ones are in nature. Small logs can be sawed, or halved, rocks & branches abound and can be cleaned easily before placement.

Shrub & tree sprigs give a very natural look to any habitat, and many ideal types can be obtained from your yard (David's Viburnum, Laurel, Rhododendron).

I have a rock & wood collection from all over the Western United States, and my biomes look exceptional as a result of using natural materials.

That said...

The best places I've found are:

1. Local pet shops (they sometimes amaze at selection for specialty items like water dishes).

2. PetSmart
Even more than PetCo, these guys have great accessories. Designs & styles have come a long way since 1970.

Here is a link to my Flikr account showing biome examples. I hope that this helps:

Very nice enclosures... here's a picture of the vivarium that the black milks at the San Antonio Zoo live in. Somewhere in there is the legendary 7'2" great-granddaddy of most of our gaigeae! Sadly, I didn't take this picture myself; it was sent to me by a friend who lives in Texas. I'm going to have to get down there and visit, though!

Thank you for the info, i tried to do my best with your same biomes in mind : ) Still working on them
