    Lily's (and future snake's) new home

    Today we finished work on Lily's new home
    It's a bigger space, and is a double; so we have a home ready for our next snake (which is currently being used for storage).
    It's an arboreal vivexotic viv that can be split into two with a centre shelf (which is what we've done).
    Finishing touches and setup done today, and now she's all moved in.

    Next bits will be to get a nice big brach in there, and some more hanging plants at the back. Getting moss tomorrow, and (hopefully) door locks on ebay.

    Unfortunately, she was hiding and exploring when I took the pics, shy as usual.
    Right now she's curled up in the coconut hide.

    Very nice looking setup.
    Should make for a happy scrub.

    Thank you!

    Moss, a silk orchid, a big branch and a new big hide were today's purchases.
    I will try to get some pics tomorrow (she's currently hiding in the new hide), it looks so much nicer with the branch in.

    Erin - Lily doesn't have a kid, but I'm hoping to be acquiring a new baby this year. Fingers crossed! Hopefully she'll let me take her photo tomorrow.

    Re: Lily's (and future snake's) new home

    Thanks! The joys of ebay. I picked up her first glass tank on there for £5, and it served us really well. But since she's getting longer now, I wanted to see about getting a bigger space for her. When I saw this one, I thought it was perfect since I want a second snake. Won it for £67, which I was pleased with. (Hubbie gets a bonus from work this month ) Instead of paying out the £25 ish that they charge for the dividing shelf, I got the board and we did it ourselves. I'm a big believer in DIY. And ebay

    Yes, it's a ThermoControl II, made by Lucky Reptile. I got it at my local independent petstore.

    This is their thermostats page:
    Lucky Reptile - Products

    On the box, it states it comes in German, French, UK, USA, Australian and Swiss plug options.
