Hexagonal Vivarium

[guidofatherof5]

I've decided just to go with a trio of ordinoides. My melanistic female spends all of her time above ground, only returning for food or water. I believe theres enough room for atleast three, the amount of climbing space I can provide will be so entertaining.

For use also.

I have Vagrans and Pickeringii. Both my male and female Vagrans are climbers and are more often at the top of the tank than the bottom.

What kind of lid are you going to use for a hex? Can you find a screen top for it?

[ConcinusMan]

Well, he said he used the tank for tree frogs so I assume there's a way to keep them from escaping.

[KephrenJorgensen]

Yes. I have a metal screen lid that I made to fit the enclosure, It just needs some extra weight on it. A few big rocks and I'm good to go.

I just have a rule of thumb, if the snake can get to all corners of the tank, all is good. Will help avoid kerplunkers.. because snakes are SO persistant even though they fall to the bottom of the tank, they will keep doing it over and over and over. Any species of snake would like this tank

My plan is to build a wooden structure that protrudes from the center of the enclosure and reaches up to the top. It will have multiple branches with fake-vine plants spiraling throughout the whole strucute. I've been having a lot of fun in the woodshop building things for my animals. Ive been making corner-hides out of maple burls, cutting them into ramp-like surfaces with a flat bottom and a 90 degreee corner. Then I just drill-press the hide entrace and the cavern itself. Both my babies and adult have one and they all love it for basking and hiding. My adult is in a 30x14x20 (it was advertized as a 27 gallon), and she probably has atleast 4 times the surface area to exlpore than she would just in the tank. She's in a different spot every 10 minutes. She's going to have a blast in this hexagonal.
