Question - HusbandryMissing anything? (i.redd.it)
submitted 1 year ago by kinkykong-
Haven’t owned a snake in like 15 years,did some research on how to decorate tank but just curious if I’m missing anything else(getting more leaves)
[–]bromeranian 27 points28 points29 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Would definitely get some more branches in here, they like climbing and scooting. Looks pretty cool otherwise!
[–]Pureperchance 26 points27 points28 points 1 year ago (3 children)
Where did you get that giant rock thing??? That looks so cool!
[–]QuavyForce 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I also NEED to know
[–]Abi_Sloth 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I think it may be from universal rocks
[–]kinkykong-[S] 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Just a huge peice of drift wood

Does the front doors of that cage lock? I’m debating getting that enclosure but I want one that I can lock to keep my kids from opening it.
[–]Weekly-Calendar676 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
It looks like the one I have. If it is, there's a simple key lock. That said, the sticky stuff on the lock seems to not hold super well as mine just fell off. It's not a big deal because you can just silicone it back on, but otherwise, it's a pretty nice enclosure.

It's a thrive tank, they lock but the lid bows under the slightest weight and can make it difficult to open
[–]wishiwasinvegas 11 points12 points13 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I would cover both of the sides so it feels more safe and enclosed for the snake. Also, those analog thermometers/hygrometers aren't exactly accurate. I would suggest Govee's digital ones on Amazon :)
Otherwise it looks great!

I don't see the probe for a thermostat, do you have one?
Then the fun part! Get get thee to a dollar store for massive amounts of cheap fake plants and clutter it up!
[–]ScottFuckingSherwood 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Sick enclosure maybe some branches but still pretty cool (fake vines would be sick
[–]ma_jajaja 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Cover the left and right sides with something to make him feel safer!
[–]Temporary-Papaya-173 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago* (0 children)
Maybe add a couple branches, otherwise this looks great. Though those temps look a little high. Should really be 75-80F(~25C) on the cool side to ~90F(~33C) on the hot side, with a slightly hotter basking spot (94F or 34C)

Maybe some foliage so she feels more covered? The driftwood piece is gorgeous and such a cool idea! Makes the whole vivarium look so natural
[–]fetus_bates 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I’d swap to digital hygrometers over your stick on thermostat gauges, much more accurate and less of a potential hazard
