Hethiss Terrarium. It did have a backdrop when i first got it but hethiss got stuck so i took it out and to be honest he likes it more. Only issue are the cables at the back and sides but they are to be sorted :p.

The light in the pictures is werid because my light unit as faulty and blew like 5 bulbs in a week so took it back and got a new one but as i was a bulb short they gave me a new one but a different type of repti bulbs which actually produces less heat which is good as the tank is always near to the high end of required. (They were out of the normals because of me and my faulty light unit xD) Just need to spend soe money and buy the more expensive bulb i now have on the right xD.

that look great well done winged sweetheart

I know there is already a thread about this somewhere. But for the life of me I can't find it! So, I'm making a new one.

I want to see your vivariums. Homemade or store bought. It doesn't matter. I want to see how you decorate it. Is your deco homemade or did you buy it? Did you use the stuff found in the reptile section of the pet shop or did you get more creative and use other things to make your vivariums look nice?

I'll start with one of mine that I like the most.

The branches hides and vines came from the pet shop. The flowers and leaves wrapped around the vines I got from the dollar store. I used rubber bands and some suction cups from the dollar store to suspend the vines in the air. My snake loves climbing on them.

The big green plastic tree in the back was for reptiles. It's not a fish one. There are no holes in it so no worries!

P.s.
If you know of a way to get those stick on thermometers off the glass I would love you forever! I tried to peel them off but the top plastic layer rips and leaves the paper on the glass.

so how long did it take to build wingedsweetheart ?
 
What would be better, in your opinion, for a corn... A 18x18x18Exo Terra, or a 20 Long Zilla Critter Cage ??? The Snakes comfort level is my priority in this decision... All opinions/ideas are wanted.
 
This is one of my small bins, its 12"x16" I found the dog water dishes today, they have lots of room under for a hide :)

Loki my hypo(???) lives in a 10 gal on my computer desk, she likes to play peek-a-boo with me :)

I'm waiting for my adult corn, Heart, to shed so I can clean out her tank and feed her, so I'll post pics "hopefully" tomorrow!

I didn't build mine. It's a Zilla Critter Cage. But it did take me a few weeks to check over all the vines and flower and hot glue all the loose leaves and flowers on so they didn't fall off. I could have probably done it in a day but I was lazy.
 
Oh WOW! I looked at every single one of the pics posted in this thread and I am getting so many ideas on how to decorate my baby girls home! Right now I am using a small 10 gal tank with black aspen, a water dish, one hide, and a piece of wood. Its a little boring but does the trick for now. I have a much bigger tank that needs a proper lid. That will be my project in the weeks to come. So many great Ideas!

I'm waiting to get some screw-in suction cups so I can properly suspend that branch, but otherwise it's complete!
