SHOW ME YOUR VIV'S

Wow very very nice MegF what type of wood is that. It looks great. How many snakes can it hold i am guessing 12 but not too sure. Now that is a loarge system i wouldn't mind having in my place.

My new ones! Don't know if I have already posted the:shrugs:



They look more natural now I have added more plants and aspen bedding, but this is the only picture I could find.

Yes, it will hold 12 although I'm selling a couple of cages to a friend and just keeping the extra one. I'll stack those on the other stack so that I have more room for arboreal cages. Thanks for the compliments. I do love them and they look so nice.

Nice vivs everyone. Here's Salazar's:

Some pics of the home of Cheerio the Magnificent.
Sorry for the glare, our kitchen area has a lot of windows and it was a nice day.
Overall it measures 54"long X 57"high X 18" wide. Actual "snake space" is about 52" long X 19" high X 16.5" wide.
This thing was listed on Craigs for free.
The man made it for his saltwater fish. All of the plywood is 3/4" thick.
He was not a carpenter, but managed to make a real sturdy tank.
I removed the filter piping and made some sliding covers with lexan.
There is a sliding door in the side for access to the water bowl, I also feed her on that side on a paper towel.
On the warm side the bottom has a lexan plate with 2 small stick-on UTHs controlled by an altered thermostat from a large oil-fired heater.
Temp and humidity monitored by a digital combo with probes (Zilla).
Reptibark substrate. The leaves are from the craft store.
The shelf is an experiment. I want to see if it works for her before I put in something more permanent, I think it does.
Red LEDs in the lid light it in the evening so we can see her roam.



The cool side, and water bowl in the back corner.


The warm side.


The top opens on both sides to a sliding, ventilated cover. The LEDs are wired on the underside of the lid.

WOW!
Cherrio is one lucky snake!

Nice set up!

Wow spoiled snakes! Gorgeous vivs everyone!

Lol okay I was inspired so I snapped some shots of my kid's vivs as well. First is Kiowa's Rental (he's moving up soon), then Bubblegum's pad (you can kinda see her hanging out there in the background), and finally Kitty and Wookie's Condo (Wookie is going to upgrade soon as well)

Ha! Cheerio is rude, this is what she does to the nice things I give her.

Hi everybody,

what an enjoyable and inspiring thread. After I saw all those jungles I decided to add some more artificial plants to my new snakes (baby amels) vivs. These are Exo terra 30x30x45. I got taller tanks after I discovered how much my snakes love to climb up high and in fact they practically live right at the top of the tanks, either in the plants or on top of the background piece(which is where they are right now so you cant see them in the photo attached).

Really enjoyed the pictures of all of your tanks.

Hey guy's,
So here's mine.. Sorry about the glare on the viv..amateur photography at best eh !![/IMG]
By the way, the viv is 36" x 12" x 16" ... anybody got any idea's on what that would be in gallons ??? cheers

30 gallons

where do you get those nice vines, the ones i get in at my store are small and boring, they're just straight and they don't raelly have anything branching off. what brand are they? or did you collect them from outside and back them and whatnot?

Um the dark brown branches in Kiowa's cage I got at Petco. There's a couple of them in there and they're bendable. The sandblasted grapevine in Wookie and Bubblegum's tank I got at the reptile show in Sacto from LLReptile. I don't know where Bubblegum's owner got that little ivy vine wrapped around the grapevine. It's really beautiful tho.

They're Zoo Med's Terra Branch I believe, they're available in two sizes, 40cm and 70cm.

I've got one in my Corn's tank, they're pretty good.

Here is Lily's

Using the following calculator, I came up with 97 US gallons.
http://animal-world.com/encyclo/information/calculate.htm

So, We did some yard work and cut down an old Holy Bush. Well, some of the pieces were too cool not to use for viv decoration. So I baked the pieces at 250 F for 30 min. Then soaked them in a 5% bleach solution, then pressure washed them and left them to air dry for 12 hours.

Here are the final redecorated vivs:
