Here is a pic of the enclosure I made for my recently captured snake.



The substrate (which probably isn't as thick as it ought to be - I'll work on that) is mostly crushed dried leaves.

That thing in the middle is a cheap piece of hanging flower basket I picked up at a dollar store (I'd prefer something smaller and more natural looking).

This enclosure is currently in an unused side room. I just took temp readings, and it's 87F in there right now. That's only slightly cooler than outside shade temps (91F). That room will get down to 80F at night, but not much cooler than that.

Some of the lessons I've learned so far: if you need to move the enclosure, remove the water dish first. Do not leave the enclosure outside in the sun for any longer than about two or three minutes.
