Can you post pictures of your tank? Here is mine. Also, give the details of the cage (example: 24High,26Long,36Deep) Mine is a fifteen or twenty gallon (24Lx12Dx10H).

Since I only have one enclosure in use, I'll post the ones I have had earlier (since I got into garters).


My first, all glass. Practically home made, but not by me. Size 80x50x45 cm / 180l. Weight empty: ~22kg.


My second enclosure (and my first home made) at its best. Size 90x80x50 cm / 360l. Weight empty and without background: ~20kg (of which ~8.6kg is in the glass doors).



My current enclosure, although not decorated like it is now. Second home made. Size 110x70x50 cm / 385l. Weight empty: ~8,9kg.




I have to say, I do enjoy seeing how people house their garters. It's not something you get to see on most snake forums, it's always corn/python/boa cages (or even worse; racks) that people post.

I would hate putting any pet in a plastic tub, but the racks that for example: crazy hedgehog has would be wonderful to have. If only a thirteen year old could get that kind of money (and parents willing to get that kind of thing).

Do you have any tips for making your tank look better. My tank looks like a gerbils

[Stefan-A]

Switch to a more "natural" looking substrate, add a couple of branches for climbing and a couple of fake plants.

Nice setups guys. I love making a set up look nice and as natural as possible. However, about rack systems and plastic containers, I think they are good in certain situations. The snake does not care whether the tank is glass or plastic, as long as its got a hide and some water and such I'm sure it'l be happy. I have 2 baby water snakes right now, and although I'd like to give them a nice natural set up, it would be very impractical because the poop every day so it's much easier using paper towels while they are young. I also have to keep them in a plastic container because we arn't allowed to have pets on campus and a glass terrarium would look a little suspicious. Hopefully soon when they are a little older and calm down with the pooping I will give them a nicer home. I had a wild caught eatern for a short time. I didn't keep her long because she was 3 feet and the cage was only a 10 gallon, which is much too small. Heres a picture of her, its blurry because it's from a camera phone.

What would be some good random junk to put in there that's common around your house? I'll take some new pics of the tank now, it looks a lot better with bark than aspen.
And it smells!
Good!
