My snake log

Looks great! I love it when they snuggle like that...they look so cute. Beautiful snakes you have there!

Nice photos, love the last one. The fake rock turned out well, but I assume it's difficult to fish them out if they decide to hide at the back?

Thank you, It's not to hard, I just make faces at them n wave my figure in a mothering "your going to be in trouble if I get to three! ONE! TWO... Good snakes." kinda way lol

So I revamped the tank with more branches n vines as well a UTH which is just to the right of the fake rock.

Love how they are both trying to hide here. Oh n don't mind the thread in the picture, it was a loose piece that I thought I had lost... Turns out it just stuck to the branch n vines

I secured the lamp cord to the lid with a giant bobbie pin. Here you can also see the mesh that I used to snake proof this 'hamster cage like lid' Which you can buy in stores n its sold as a 'snake proof' lid. HA maybe for big arsed snakes like a boa or something like that lacking curiosity lol Either way it is NOW not just 'snake proof' it's GARTER SNAKE PROOF!
The white strip is a shoelace that I stitched on to cover the sharp cut edges of the wire screen/mesh.

Looks good! Love the pics with the snakies poking their heads out. So cute! Yeah...I love the stores' ideas of snake proof tanks and lids. Is that aspen you have in there? The pieces look so much bigger than my aspen...it looks better than the stuff I have.

[Light of Dae]

It sure is aspen. This stuff is considered 'shaved' where I think the stuff you got is 'shredded'. I ain't sure I like it much. I have to dust it before putting it in. I've come up with a good method for it if you want. There are still lots of smaller pieces in it, but they tend to sit on the bottom. snakes love borrowing in it.

[EasternGirl]

I think I read where you said something about sifting it through a window screen? I was just thinking it might not be sharp like the pieces of the shredded aspen...those pieces give me splinters when I'm cleaning it or putting it in a tank...and it gets all over the place.

[Light of Dae]

yea, this stuff is pretty good. Yea window screen basically. It's not hard.

I'd like to see even a garter get through the lid now that it is properly snake-proof. Before the extra grill it wouldn't have been much of a challenge.

[Light of Dae]

Garter proof was my plan I knew before I bought it all at a value village that I'd have to do something about the lid :P Heck now it's even bug proof!
