Plants soil?

[Oakeetee]

Hmmm... well by planting a plant in your tank/terrauim if it gets bacteria, germs ectra... you'll probabily not be able to kill the microrgansims on the plant without killing the plant. And if the snake gets the microrgansims into it's syestem, it could very well die if it's something like mamonia, especially for hatchlings and old corns. You might be able to combat that by keeping your terrauim very very clean, by cleaning the tank with an antimicrobial spray, and then drying it 100%. You could solve the humidity problem with the terrauim having to be humid to grow the plant, by growing a plant that is use to dry conditions, [such as a cactus, Lol, Jokin.] As for dirt, I would say yes, as long as it manmade. But, hey, I'm just a stupid little kid.

And by putting Eco Earth in there, I don't know what soil that is, insects and fungi, and mites can grow in your terrauim. But if you take all of the substarte out like... once every two weeks maybe, and put very very very hot water up to the brim, that will kill almost everything that could harm your snake. Also, if your doing this, I would first put eco earth in his terrauim, and a day later see if he has dirt inbetween his scales, if he doese give him a bath in lukewarm water, and scrub the dirt away with a Q-tip. And I would, if you were going to grow plants, which I think would make look lovely, I'd buy a different tank, and wait until that plant is fullgrown, or 2s the size of the tank. But hey, I'm a somewhat dumb kid...

This is a very, very, very bad idea. Most glass vivariums are not meant to hold any amount of water and by adding this hot water you could end up with a large pile of broken glass. If it's plastic or another material very very very hot water will most likely not kill anything and may in fact promote breeding of undesirable bacteria etc... . In order to sterilize for most bacteria etc.. the object should be baked in an oven or boiled for at least 15 minutes ( do the research before using either method), for obvious reasons I DO NOT recommend this for a vivarium. I DO recommend Aspen and plastic plants and or sterilized rocks and branches. You can get really creative with these and make a very realistic habitat.

O, well, I got a terrauim desingened for fish... So I guess mine could... I don't know wether very very very hot water would kill things on plastic, but I guess I'll do my research on this... and post here if I find results that contridic yours. But yea, boiling would be the best way to kill the bacteria

Boiling things will kill the microorginisims. However as already stated this isn't a good idea (in concerns to the tank itself)
It isn't even a good idea for a fish tank and you'll still very likely end up with cracked glass.

However, when I filled up my fish tank turned viv, I filled it up with warm water and bleach to soak. But it also really needed the soak because it was a dirty horribly used tank.
