i have been thinking of a new idea for setting up my new tank for my corn, hes still a hatchling/juvi maybe 12-14 long, i have a new tank thats jus under 3 feet long and i wanna set something up that feels a little more "natural". i want to take a little section of the tank and make a little "pond", not something crazy just like 3-5 inches deep and 10-12 inches long and i was think of making a piece thats removable that would be the "bank/dry land", i want it to be removable so i could easily drain the water and clean the hole tank the put the piece back in and fill the "pond" back up,am i thinking realisticly at all here? it came to my when i was bored one night so im open for any advice, opinions, comments, thanks everyone!

How about using something like this http://www.amazon.com/Ziploc-Container-Large-Rectangle-2-Count/dp/B003UEG7SW/ref=pd_sim_hpc_7 without the lid of course. Snakes like to poop in their water dishes sometimes so having something you can remove from the tank and wash is better than something semi-permanent.

You sound pretty creative, designing a new viv for your snake is the best part....So just let your creativity run wild and have fun! But like Alicia said, make sure it's easy to clean on a weekly basis. I found "easy to clean" and "easy to clean once a week" to be very different in the long run 
As for the pond, if you search through past DIY threads, you'll see some really cool ideas. Ziploc containers work great because they are cheap and, again, easy to remove and clean. Glass and ceramic bowls work great too. You can thrift store a glass bowel for super cheap and make a 'bridge' (I used an apple branch and cut notches that fit over the bowl) that the snake can also reach the water from above and below.
Whatever you do....Have fun and post pictures

When I have an idea that I'm looking for parts to or how to solve a particular problem, I go to my local hardware store (not a big-box store, a *real* hardware store) and browse the aisles. I can usually get some really good ideas that way.
I have used this idea at the grocery store, could go to pet stores or camera shops, whatever catches your eye. You never know what you're going to discover that gives that, "ah HA!" moment!
