I’m seeing a post with Wisp’s old enclosure making the rounds so I thought I’d toss in an update on the kids’ current digs 🙂

The top one is Wisp’s, it’s a 120x60x60 Reptiliumbox setup. Really solid quality, by the way, high recommend to anyone who’s looking for an AP analogue in Europe (@rainbowsnakes you’re the only one I know on this side of the ocean but please share around EU reptiblr!) The substrate is uhh some ratio or other of potting soil/sand/coco husk chips, I lost track as I was mixing it, with some leaves and bark on top, plus a couple nice sedges and a feathergrass. Cleanup crew consists of springtails from the herp shop and woodlice I found in the woods; I always worry I’m not keeping them wet enough but they seem to be doing okay especially since I added some water crystals (ty @kaijutegu for the hint!)

The big logs I got for cheap from an aquarium shop since they’re mangrove and apparently aquarists don’t want their decor to float? The skull is a real horse skull that used to be in a real horse that I got from some Greek dude on etsy (of which there are multiple since apparently they just wander around with their dogs around the hilly landscape and pick up sheep/goat/horse/etc skulls all over the place. Note to self: field trip to Greece someday.) The terracotta pots were my forever best life decision because she comes up through the top hole and looks like a garden eel everyone with snakes needs to try this at least once.

Heating is a 75W Habistat RHP which gets it warm enough for a corn snake but anyone who needs significantly higher temps than 28°C should get higher wattage or supplement heating for this volume. It came with a LED T5 light strip but I dug into my pockets a bit more to set her up with a nice 5% UVB T5 and she seems to appreciate it, she basks quite a bit 🙂

Then the bottom one is Bramble’s, it’s a 45-cm ExoTerra cube that I had lying spare that he might still grow out of, I’m not sure yet. Same substrate and CUC. I planted it with a nice muehlenbeckia and a shaggy shield fern but then I went away for two weeks and the fern uhh died. But the muehlenbeckia is doing fine, top grades. Terracotta pots continue to be an excellent idea, and that BB8 mug is extremely annoying to actually use as a mug and then wash up but is a v good hide. Heating is a CHE, and light is an ExoTerra’s Natural Light bulb (2% UVB) which seems to be completely going to waste but I’ll be damned if I don’t provide the opportunity for naturalistic behaviour for my ungrateful shiny rope child anyway, so there.

(Yes of course the heating is statted)

Oh god this is long, I hope more than literally 1 (one) person (me) actually reads it. @omg-snakes IIRC you wanted to see bioactive setups, please enjoy the thesis manuscript attached >.>
