New enclosure

Nooby_Scoobs Dec 26, 2010 10:34 AM

Hello all. looking for feedback what you think I need or what is missing in this setup. More specifically, the hide on the cool side which I made with an upside down plastic container, with holes cutout for access, and covered with moss. I put moss inside and wet it some to retain humidity in there as a humid hide, but do you think its worth dividing the hide space into two so as he/she(dont know yet) has a choice in his cool hide between humid and not humid? the broken pots for hidespaces edges were filed down, I only used plastic plants that had no funny /plasticy odor, substrate is coconut shavings.

it looks pretty nice but it could become really annoying to have to clean all that and set it back up. I just got my first 2 snakes this month and ordered a small rack system from Animal Plastics. This will also allow me for faster expansion of my collection.

I know.. I thought about that, but since this is in my living room i want to make it look as attractive as possible, besides i think he will feel very secure like this.. lots of cover like his natural habitat. The cleaning thing may get old but i think that it will be worth it for the overall effect, and for his own happiness.!!

just think about having to deal with that cleaning over the years and how likely you'll be able to do it and not get so annoyed that you'll procrastinate because it's become a hassle. the racks look nice enough and if you have an enclosed one they'll feel quite secure. More upside on the rack for you and snake.
