Reed-- Curious & Reed II's new digs :-)

[Lori P]

Reed, I set up their tank today. It's not done yet but it gets us a start. Will this work? It's a 40 gallon, is that enough room??

It's an old tank that someone gave me, and I can't get the water stains off. But it is clean. I'll get some more greenery to drape over the water like you suggested. :)

That looks nice, Lori.:) Is there any ventilation?

[Lori P]

The top is mesh. Is that enough?? This is how all my tanks are--

[adamanteus]

Oh right, I couldn't see the mesh on the photo!:o Yeah, it's plenty!

[Lori P]

Oh phew!! :-) I really want to come up with a better way to house the snakes. The tanks just take up sooooo much room. I do have lots of ideas from other's set ups here on the site! Altho, you know, if I have snake homes taking up space then I can't leave as much clutter around and that's a good thing!! :-)

thats really great lori, im glad they can have a large enclosure, and i know ur going to give them the care they need

[adamanteus]

Stack systems work well, and save space or 'multiple' tanks, like mine.;)

[Lori P]

Reed, you know I will and I'll drive you all nuts with pics. :-)

James, I want to keep the tanks large and interesting for the snakes, of course, and still easy to move everything out of and clean. Oh, lol, I've been playing with that excavator clay and because I have less artistic talent than a blind badger, it's not going as well as hoped. lol

My tanks are 4 foot wide. Obviously, this pic is before they are furnished!
