    Most have the option of being converted into 2 separate enclosures 3'x2'x2'.
    You just have to slide in a divider.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Didymus, I've never seen a half-n-half sort of enclosure like that for a garter! Very creative. How do you clean the water side? Do you use filters, or can you detach that half and just dump it?

    Re: tanks and hides

    I use a kerosene siphon pump, a length of plastic tubing, and a 5 gallon bucket. I pump the water into the bucket until I get enough for a good siphon, then use the pump intake like a vacuum cleaner to pick up any dirt, poop, or other mess I might happen to find. I clean the water at least once a week, more if I find any messes. And about once a month, I give the whole thing a good scrubbing.
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    I clean once every 3 months and I tear it all apart and do something different with it, only gets better every time and keeps the snakes exploring

    Here's a picture of my set up. Pretty simple, Sage in the big 30gal, babies in the 10gal next to it. Babies hides consist of a keg cup with a hole cut in it, and a toilet paper tube cut down the middle. Sage has 2 store bought hides.



    Babies in cup.



    They always love the cheapest things.
