Hexagonal Vivarium

[KephrenJorgensen]

So I've got this vivarium that I used to keep treefrogs in a few years ago, and it was so nice when it was set up that I can't help but want to use it again. The only problem is, I'm not sure which species would be the best to keep in a tank like this :P . Its 23 inches tall, and each of the 6 sides is 10.5 inches. The distance from opposite corners being 22 inches. It has a relatively large floor space that I think would give the snake a lot of room to explore without needing to turn back and forth on it self. The amount of empty space for decor and "furniture" gave for quite an extravagant environment for the treefrogs. I'm just ecstatic thinking of what I could do with that much space for a garter to climb in. I was thinking of keeping a pair of pickeringii or a lone vagrans in there. Or even a trio of ordinoides to show off their polymorphism. Any words or thoughts you have while reading this, if doing so , please feel free to respond with :P
Also, are there any thamnophis species that tend to be more arboreal than anything else, even if for only a limited period of time?

I think it could work very well if you put a bulb at the top with branches and plant at different level,you will get a very nice gradient because the snake gets to choose its basking temperature and if it gets to warm it could retreat to ground level.

Most of my garters make use of vertical space when I give them the opportunity.
My T.ordinoides (Northwestern garter) don't seem to do a lot of climbing.

Of mine, it's the Blacknecks that tend to be most arboreal. Others climb a bit but the blackneck pair will both spend hours or days coiled in the tops of the plants in their viv.

I was just going to say... blacknecks. My blackneck loves to perch up in his branches and balances all of his coils on about 3 small points of branch!

Green tree python! That's what I plan to do with my 30-gallon hex tank after I feed all of the fish to my garters.

My Butlers spend a lot of time sunning in their branches, but I believe they may be protected in your area.

Amazon Tree Boas!

now as much as I would love to have boas and pythons and such, I dont have that kind of money :P. Im talkin THAMNOPHIS people! Between pickeringii and e vagrans, which would YOU keep in such an enclosure?

My parietalis really appreciate having some vertical space. My trio really enjoys climbing through the branches. Maybe consider them. I would also think fitchi would have the same tendency. My young pair are very keen to climb through whatever foliage they are provided.
