Alternative to natural vivarium set up

I have always had natural looking vivariums but am thinking about trying something less natural for my adult corn. So do any of you have any pics you could share of the less natural looking set ups. Unususal hides, climbing things etc. Need some inspiration :)
 
One thing that is easy to customize is the backdrop. I just upgraded my corn snake's viv to a larger size and one of the things I did was pick up a roll of fancy turquoise patterned paper that I cut as a backdrop. It makes by orange and red amel pop.

Another non-natural hide idea might be those plastic igloo things for hamsters, I have used those before. A built in background with texture could really allow you to do a cool theme (like space or Western).
 
My substrate is plain paper towels, and the hides are folded paper. The snake is still very tiny, so paper hides don't yet get crushed under his weight. Heavy glass water bowl, and a weathered branch is set diagonally. Very minimalist.
 
"volcanic-like cave" made with that green expansive foam used to insulate gaps around windows ... when painted on gray with a green and brown flecks here and there and illuminated by green LED light, you will get a wonderfully looking, very "radioactive-like" sewer. :D Not really a natural habitat, but has it's charm :D

(When design goes wrong way during crafting ... :eek: )
 
I'm going to go for for tropical/jungle-ish. I'm seeing an Aztec temple to the Snake God...haha so it will be somewhat naturalistic, but not typical corn snake habitat.... Does that count? ;)
 
I'm thinking of an ancient China type of exhibit with a Great Wall of china hide and a Chinese dragon decoration. They had several hides along this vein at a pet store I just visited.
