Viv Ideas?

I am busy building 2 vivs and would like some input, creative ideas, opinions:)
Wooden viv with glass fronts, i would like to apply a sticker across the back piece of the tank, but not sure if I should use a jungle scene or maybe a close up shot of a corn field. I know the snakes might not care or notice but i want the viv to look realistic, have ordered more hides and logs and buying fake plants like crazy. Also found bags of smooth river stones(small) - should i use them in the viv - what would you do? TIA:)
P.S will post some pic ideas of what I am looking at doing

The cases were painted white a long time ago, so i think i am going to camo stickers made for the outside that way i do not have to paint again:)
 
Pictures are alright, but my viv came with the styrofoam-fake rock piece that fit snugly against the back wall. Looks pretty good, and is great for my snake to climb up and down as she pleases.
 
Nice pic's of corn! I never thought of corn for a background. Clever. :idea:
A wooden viv is hard to clean and heat however, but I have seen some that look great.
 
Luckily i live in south africa, it's pretty warm mostly, even Winter is pretty okay. As to heating, i have drilled small holes on one side of each tank and am wiring the heat pads through tere, so they are in in the tank. Will cover them up with plexiglass and substrate, should be fine. I really glass tanks, but they will get too hot here.i live in a wooden house so even when it's cold it's not that cold:)
