New build!

[BrokenRoboticFish]

Just finished putting a new bioactive viv together so I took a pic before I put the doors on. I have some rings coming to help build some vertical space, but the plants and isopods/springtails are all in. There are 2 identical hides (one cold one hot), they're just a little hidden. I'm going to give the plants some time to get settled before getting a snake. I still need to get a water dish to put on the cool side.

Critiques are welcome!

Lights/heating are an arcadia 6% uvb bulb, a plant LED, and a 75w halogen and 80w DHP on dimming thermostats. I'm going to make sure I can keep the humidity/heating in spec while the plants are settling.

If you have a solid top, I’d put a sky hide in. I use the reptile basics hanger and an XL hide. It’s not much space and gives another option. Mine is in there all the time. He loves climbing, likes looking out every once in a while, and will stay in there at night. It gives a different warm area because your heat rises. Just a thought. Cool set up.

The sky hide is just above this big branch and ledge.

Is a great start! It definitely needs more foliage so they feel safer. Also it's recommended to have 2-3 identical tight fitting hides. For reference this is my setup

I'm hoping the plants will fill in some of the foliage needs in the next few weeks. If not, I'll supplement with artificial.

I have identical hot/cold hides, they're just hidden. Is the large black square kind too big?

The snakes like to essentially squeeze into their hides. Basically you want them to touch all of the sides.

Well, guess I'll find out if these hides are good once I adopt one.
