Cleaning day.....

Hrmmmm........
So it was cleaning day for Thumper and he got a nice little surprise when he got to go back into his tank after it was dry and fume free. Did a little rearranging and some more work on his "water bowl". Just for giggles, like the changes? Or should I take it all out and give him a corner bowl and straight aspen bedding?

Before cleaning:

After cleaning, and Thumper investigating:

Well, when I left the house this morning he was completely submerged with only his eyes and the tip of his nose sticking out of one of the holes in his "driftwood" so he could breathe and hunt, or so he thinks. Before I changed the viv around, he would get under the pump so it would pour out on him and I would have to go in and pull him out after 2 or 3 days of him being in there.... Worry about scale rot sometimes but nothing major that I have seen to date. I'll snap a few pics if he is still in there when I get home.
 
How did you do that??? My boyfriend and I wanted to do something like that for our firebelly toads...is there something pre-made you can buy to divide the tank like that or did you do it yourself?

Just went to Lowes and had them cut 2 pieces of 3/32" plexi 12"L x 4"W and siliconed them in place. Waited a few hours for it to set up and added water, pump, and decorations. Not hard at all to do and only took about 15 mins worth of actual work to do it. I have a pic where everything was labelled the way it was set up before in my viv album on my profile page

To make it seal, you will need to do it yourself. Two pieces of glass, and some silicone, and you too can have this effect. If you put the pool all the way at one end of the tank, then all you need is a single piece of glass.
 
Thats how my boyfriend said we should do it but apparently its too much work for him so we just set a little tupperware container in there with water in it XD

I have to say that I exert MORE energy making and eating a bowl of cereal in the morning than I did fixing that in my tank....... I'll leave it at that. :noevil:
 
I'd still love to make a nice pool in the tank, especially if its that easy! I will have to try convincing my boyfriend to put in the effort lol.

It looks really nice. How big of a terrarium is he in?

He's in a 55 gal. since he's my biggest, therefore he is my "display snake". My baby is in a 29 now, but will be stepping down to a 20 long once thermostats come in a few days, and the 29 will be my "layover" tank while their regular tank is down for cleaning. Well at least until the Repticon next month, where I'm sure I'll pick up something to put in the 29. Then they will be down to a Sterilite while cleaning, lol

Took a few days, but finally got a chance to sit down and upload the pics I got the other day.

That is so neat!! Thanks for sharing!

I never would've imagined a corn snake would love water that much, lol. I'm going to have to try that some time...
