marcianus viv project

Thats awesome. Someday I would like to have a nice vivarium in the family room.

You should.Everyone should It's quite easy and very satisfying if you do a couple sketches of what you want,only problem is it takes quite a while to make. The benefit to your snakes will outweigh the disadvantages.It also works out cheaper as without it I'dd have to spend 40-50 quid on wood,fake plants,hides and cork ect But with this ,the material only cost me around £35 and all I'll need to do when it's done is plant some ivy and a few clumps of grass on the ledges and substrate.

It doesn't have to take a long time. I have naturalistic viv's that take mere minutes to setup or break down. Doesn't have to cost much either. The latter statement is debatable but whether or not there are benefits to the snakes is irrelevant because there are definite benefits to the person who has such such a setup. For someone who has a huge number of snakes, it is impractical to have every snake living in a naturalistic vivarium but if you don't have at least one, or as many as you can practically maintain, but are instead keeping all your snakes in racks or other setups where they can't be viewed without disturbing them, you're missing out on a large part of the enjoyment of keeping snakes.

Cool video on making fake walls in a viv

Very well done! Resembles the eroded limestone dens that the T. s. parietalis use up here.

Thanks ,any chance of some pics?It'd be useful for future setup ideas

[thamneil]

Here is a picture taken by a friend. Cant really see the ground very well but it reminds me of your rock wall.
