That set up looks very natural to me, but then I'm a european keeping my corns in a rack! I may well decide to challenge my carpentry skills in producing vivs in a few years, but as much as I love my corns I'm just not prepared to pay the prices charged for a decent-sized viv in this country. For a 48-inchx 24x24 one of the best deals I've seen is £130 without equipment excluding delivery. For that price I can have my corns in big tubs in a rack with their heating. To my mind ready-made vivs are a licence to print money, I only wish I was better at carpentry but have seen some very good building plans on the web.

My 36" x 12" x 12" was only £30, then it cost me. . .about £7 to build the lid, then about £5 petrol. Dont look in shops or online, look in warehouses that supply to shops that are open to public customers. I also bought my Exo-Terra medium sized hide for £3 from that same warehouse!
 
That's a great piece of wood! Does your snake ever use it? If not try maybe hanging that "fern" in the corner over a section of it.

Great looking viv, I'm looking to make a few "natural looking" vivs myself.
 
Sorry for my late answers!

Thank you for your complements :wavey: .

Yes the snakes use the hole viv, from top to bottom. It is the viv for my 06-babies. This year is will build another one to separate the males and the females. Maybe two, because I think the actual one is a little bit to small for the adults. I think 80 cm is a good high for cornsnake-vivs. The next one will have 120 cm lenght and 60 cm depth. I think thats enough to keep 3 or 4 adults snakes in it.
 
uh oh, you opened a can of worms now, i hope your not keeping more than one snake in the cage.
 
I made a modification with the substrate. First I used reptibark. The problem is, it is very difficult to find the snakepoop, especially if the snakes are juvenile. Now I use kitchen-paper (paper-towels) with a very thin covering of retibark (only for the good look).

The plant in upper right corner is a favorite hiding place. The branches are perfect to "crawl along" and "hanging around" ;) .

Another changing is the living ivy that is used in the viv. It was a disaster. Lost most of the leaves and looking sick. I think thats not the best plant for cornsnake-viv.
