The fireplace-terrarium, re-decorated...

[Thamnophis]

ok a couple questions, the really cool fake rock stuf, what is it made out of? and wat paint did you use? is it easy to clean? and about the light bulb, isnt it possible for the snakes to accidentally burn themselves on it?

The rocks are made of styropor that is cut into the shape of a rock.
Then I put some layers of the cement with which you put tiles on the wall.
The paint is some kind of wallpaper. Cleaning is ok. Most of the time snakes deposit their *** on the bottom and can be taken away easily.

The lightbulb is a 25 Watt lamp. Never had this kind of trouble with garter snakes.
For real climbing snakes (like boa's and pythons) this can be dangerous.

The terrarium is made of a real fireplace that was already in our house when we bought it. So the possiblities to place the lamps is limited.
In the chimney-hole hangs another bulb.
