Remember Pluto, my cornsnake? I posted here before that he used to dig under the substrate and stay there - and I thought he was brumating... well, I got her tank all nicely setup with some accessories and look at the way it looks now!

He no longer hides under the substrate but hangs out all over the tank's items!!! Very cool, now I can see him at all times, without searching under the substrate!

For others who are having this issue, I think the more hiding places these snakes have, or climbing items, the happier they are and the less they will hide away from full view.

reptibark would really put a finishing touch on that setup and give it an amazing natural look.

Just a thought, but nice "hangouts" are they fish tank decorations?
 
The big item you are seeing (moutain-looking) against the tank's glass where Pluto is resting is an aquarium item, yes. They seem to make more of a variety for aquarium items than terrariums. The only problem with these is they're hollow at the bottom, and at first Pluto thought of hiding inside there. BuT i got that taken care of by surrounding the item with the substrate.

There is also a piece of hollow bark at the very end corner as you can see at the first picture, and that was the only hide I had in her tank before, but I left it there with the other new stuff. And she seems to be very happy. =)
 
It probably wouldn't hurt to tape that off with duct tape or something. My dad bought a ceramic tree and nearly couldn't get his hatchling out when get got inside.. Thats the only bad thing about those, no matter how much you bury them they always find a way in...

still it looks sweet.
 
The other weird thing he used to do was somehow hide under the large water dish! I never saw him go under there, but at one point I thought he had escaped and when I lifted the ceramic bowl, there he was under it!!!
 
Oh yeah, everytime I change out the STONE waterdish in my tanks I make sure it's flat against the ground with no chips of reptibark holding it up and this is the result regardless:

And this is what I find if I lift up the dish:

And I thought this only happened to me... lol So are you keeping more than one corn in one enclosure??
 
DOH! Why you little!

Awwww! I won't even say it, Homer! ;)
 
ok ok ok...

"I put them together for the sake of taking the picture and showing their colors in comparison..."

yes, thats it, exactly... DOH! I mean excellent...
