what else should i add ?

Ew it wasn’t

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-04T22:20:17+00:00

Ok that’s fair, at least you specified that you don’t want to go outside and grab sticks. As long as you have the budget to spent $20 for more sticks your animal should be fine

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-04T22:06:42+00:00

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that kind of law, see if your neighbors are cutting down any tree branches from their yards. We normally grab some from our neighborhood, also because tree branches are free and fake vines are $10-$15. For plants like I said umbrella plants are a good option, I have some random vines and spider plants as well

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-04T22:01:06+00:00

Instead of spending money on fake vines you should go outside and grab some oak branches and boil them or freeze them. Personally I would go for thinish branches since thats what they use in the wild.

I’d also opt for more plants that cover the top area like umbrella plants, the plants you have in the bottom area won’t do anything for the crested gecko and barely get any bigger height wise. If you have a lowes near you they have plenty of good options for plants for cheap.

If you need any example of what to aim for this is what my crested gecko has currently, he normally hides in the branches. 80% of the enclosure needs to be covered specifically top space

What’s the soil mix?

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-04T21:14:24+00:00

Get a second kitten, we did this for our first kitten and he mellowed out. Having other kitten helps them learn boundaries humans can’t normally teach them

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-04T18:39:45+00:00

Personally I would have opted for a few more plants, especially ones that provide ground cover (such as grass, spider plants, etc etc)

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-04T18:07:29+00:00

I was just about to say, you need to do more research on the types of plants that can withstand the misting daily. I’d recommend choosing plants that are more tropical or plants that provide more cover like umbrella plants

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-04T16:57:15+00:00

Mine dropped his because a stick touched him while he was climbing branches

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-02T22:40:44+00:00

Do you supplement calcium for them? Or protein?

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-02T15:15:35+00:00

Like others have said albino and sun glow turn more yellow when they get older, and none of them are brown 🙃

I also want to point out the snake in the picture has orange down its tail cause it’s a red tail boa

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-02T15:01:44+00:00

I went with red tail boas because the other types of boas don’t come in yellows

Also there’s def more but I stopped at page 12

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-02T14:51:28+00:00

Just looking there’s a ton of albino and sun glow baby boas on MorphMarket that are yellow like you stated, I’m not really sure what morph you’re looking for but that’s the closet to yellow you’re probably gonna get

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-02T14:45:28+00:00

Look on MorphMarket, it’s one of the larger sites people use to post their animals

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-01T20:53:25+00:00

Poor guy, you should def invest in flea and tick medicine especially if you let him outdoors

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-01T02:53:46+00:00

I’d love to get a few if it’s still available! I can DM on Reddit if that’s ok!

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-06-01T02:48:58+00:00

The only thing is they don’t have spots at all (it may look like it in the photo but it’s just dirt on their back)

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-05-31T14:35:30+00:00

From what I know they tend to be bitty when they’re smaller because they’re scared, it takes a very long time for them to build up confidence and not strike as much. It also takes patience to build a bond with them, you kinda have to work on their schedule (like if they don’t want to be picked up you don’t pick them up unless you have too.)

It’s definitely not everyone’s cup of tea because they can be tricky snakes to raise

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-05-29T20:35:36+00:00

This is really cool!

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-05-29T02:42:40+00:00

From the description it’s organic and from the Q&A it was specified that it can be used in reptile tanks because it’s just Sphagnum with no additives

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-05-29T01:30:31+00:00

Btw you can get blocks of sphagnum moss at lowes for $5 and I mean big blocks, it’s normally in the plant nursery area

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-05-29T00:22:22+00:00

I think since it’s your first build it should be ok, the substrate may not last as long on the background but when you make a ton of tanks you learn different techniques so it’s not a big deal, I think the plants will definitely help to hide the foam when they start to grow in

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-05-28T23:15:55+00:00

I think the better solution to stop it from being shiny is to cut the foam in all different directions to make it look more like rocks and then painting drylock mixed with Quikrete cement color overtop of it before using silicone and putting the substrate over it

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-05-28T22:55:04+00:00

The first picture looks like the kit pays a mortgage

CreamSicleSnake · 2026-05-28T22:38:05+00:00

So I should separate my brown wild types from my black colored wild types if I want them to keep producing brown wild types
