2014 Similis Group Set Up

I just received 4 similis babies from Bluesirtalis this week. Thought I'd share a couple pics of how I currently have them set up. It's a simple 5 gallon for now. I find baby garters do best in small tanks until they put on some size and get used to hunting down prey.


Using aged coco coir and peat mix, rock cave hide, plastic plant, petrified wood chunk, quartz crystal chunk, and the tray of a plastic flower pot as a dish. For lighting/heat I'm using the hood from a small exo terra tank. The bulb is extremely low wattage but it works good since my house stays around 78 this time of year while I'm gone during the day. The snakes seems to digest feeder fish within a days time.
