fish in corn tank????

I've seen people set up viv's for thier garter and water snakes, with half water and half dry land. The snakes love to chase and eat the fish, but those are water type snakes. It would probably be too high a humidity for corns I think. It would also be hard to keep up and messy. I think the corns would rather have floor space to move around. Just my 2 cents.
Are you talking about a koi pond in a corn snake viv? Or maybe a marine species, I see in your signature that you have a few. If this the case, which this is kinda like a shot in the dark, you would want a fresh source of water in the viv for the snake, without fish poo in it. And a pond would probally raise the humidity more than what is necessary, so adequate venting would also be needed. Does this answer the question? Maybe? :shrugs:

Are you talking about putting a little one gallon tank in the viv with the snake? This may work with a hatchling but a bigger corn would just knock it over.TiledZ said:

Oh yeah and the tank goes on and the other side has plants and a hide, etc. WAY too humid for a corn. This is not my tank or my pics BTW.
My garter has a huge, I mean takes up 1/3 of the tank huge, water bowl on one side that is heavy so he doesn't knock it over. He eats mostly pinkies, so he wont get parasites, etc.

thats something i was wondering too. maybe a big water bowl with a small goldfish and big filter to keep it as clean as possible. but making the viv well ventilated to keep the humidity down. think its possible?

goldfish cant live in a water bowl. unless you want the goldfish to die. or are you planning to feed the gold fish to the snake? even then, goldfish arent good feeder fish, they're loaded with fat.
goldfish need at least 20 gals of water. they're a messy fish that produce a lot of ammonia in their waste. they also can get quite large. i had a Ryukin gold fish that lived 8 years and was as big around as a softball.
i think a half water/half land setups are cool, but it's hard to choose good fish to keep in them.

The set up I pictured is DEFINITELY not for corns. I wouldn't use it for my garter either, mainly because it could cause belly rot with all of that humidity. That snake was called something like a keeled water snake. Anyway, goldfish are toxic to garters (and probably other snakes). They cause a thiaminase deficiency. But without going into all of that... its still not a set up for corns. You could do fancy water/terrarium stuff better with frogs or salamanders.
