Anker's enclosure, any advices??

[Tlaka]

Hi, this is my T. proximus home :) it is a 80 L tank, sometimes i think anker gets bored so it'll be nice if you guys give me some ideas to improve it. Thanks to all of you have a nice day and i hope you like anker (y)

Your enclosure looks good. My only suggestions would be maybe a few more plants for cover and a more horizontal piece of wood/branch to bask on. My snakes really like a horizontal place to bask...

But those are not major concerns, your set up looks really nice.

I'd have more hiding places/cover. You only have one hide there..

But it's a nice setup.;)

Yeah I agree on more plants and hides. Looks like the walls are high too, if you are in the mood to be creative I would look into making a background, the benefit of a homemade one is you can add shelves, steps, and such so he can use the wall space as well to climb around, bask, even hide in as well as the floor space.

Those backgrounds work especially well with the taller glass tanks, adds a lot more functionality for him and looks a lot better for you!

Would also look nicer with the variety of moss/substrate/grout/paint that people use to cover these simple styrofoam made back grounds. The styrofoam and some silicon for gluing seems to be standard, what you put over it varies a lot. Lots of youtube vids on it, here is a good one:
