Comments on that temperature range. The cool side is measured at the device and the hot one is located under the below hide. I'm currently working on the humidity..it's very humid here in south texas. My house is 70% right now and that bark pushes it above 90% which is why it says "hi" :p<br>

Woah. That would be HELL to clean, and where's the lid? I'm thinking beside the dinner table is a bad place as well (high traffic area = stress)... And all those little sticks? Where'd you get them? Have they been treated?

Am I just really cranky tonight? I like the pic of the snake though. lol
 
A little high maintenance-but the snake will like it. If your keeping corns in it ,you dont need 87 degrees in there-not even on the warm side. At a constant 84 degrees AND HIGHER some say a corn can become sterile , i do not know this from experience though. I,d use an under tank heater on one end or a rock with some thing to control the temp and keep temps 78 - 82 degrees and call it good. Be careful of mites in that cage and good luck.
 
Well, it is a "natural" looking set up - except for the pot..lol - but, yes, I hope you do realize that any wood you take from outside should be heated in an oven to make sure no "unwanted visitors" are alive in them. And I do expect that you are planning on putting a screen top on that aquarium or you are most definitely not going to be having a snake for very long. :)

It is nice to have natural looking homes for the snake but you have to remember that when it is cleaning time, you may find too much stuff inside to be hard to take care of. What you have, though, depends on how much time you are going to want to spend in the clean up part of things.

If you have a quiet home with very little activity going on in that room, it is probably ok to have your viv there, but if it is a very active household with people constantly being in and out of the room and lost of noise going on, then it would not be wise to have it there as the snake will always be stressed. Also, I don't know if you are planning on keeping the temps that high but 87 -90 is a bit high, a high of 85 should be tops.

I think having a "wild looking" viv for your snake is great. Good luck and enjoy your new snake, it's a nice looker.
 
A note on "cooking" wood

I am a member at arachnopets.com also and in a post a guy said he put a piece of wood from outside in his oven at I think 400 degrees for 30 minutes, afterwards he dropped it on the floor and a ton of ants ran out, so I would think twise about using wood from outside even if it has been baked. Just a thought. But very nice looking setup. :sidestep:

I don't think his oven was on then. That high a temp will cook an ant no matter what.
 
I have a 03 snow and her viv is in the floor of my upstairs den and i have 4 kids 15 yr , 9 yr , 3 yr , and 17 months . her viv is 40 inches square and 17 inches tall and she has no problem gulping down her feed. i set the feeder tank in and put her into it and drop in the feed and we all watch as she does her thing . i think its up to the snake and the way you would treat it . with my third kid we had figured out dont worry about the noise at night when it was bed time and yep sure nuff he got use to it and will sleep thru a storm now . but no 2 snakes are the same thats just what works here . good luck slithering thru life with your snake. :sidestep:
 
I throw my wood in the microwave. Nothin lives after a few minutes of nuking and steaming. I wash all the wood in bleach and hot water and then......sput!
