Raven's New Crib

mycolorfulheart · 02-20-2008, 08:39 PM

So I decided that before I get another snake (I'm thinking about a baby cornsnake btw) I'm going to update Raven's enclosure. Her old one was okay but pretty boring:

Also it was on my floor, which made it okay but not the best for viewing her.

The new one:

The updates are as follows:
new half log hide
new 'perch' hide, I'm hoping she uses it i'll keep you posted!
new white light
tank on a cart instead of the floor, for better viewing
bigger water dish
another branch and more fake foliage

Meekay's still captivated by her!

The new setup is very nice. I like it.

that looks really nice, Allison
I like the perched hide - curious as to whether Raven will

I LOVE the "tree house"!!!! Great idea-- I bet she'll love it too!!! That's a great new home for her, you did an awesome job. :-) :-)

I had something similar once.

Or twice.

Very nice! I think the perch is really cool. I'll be waiting to see if Raven agrees!!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

When i woke up this morning the 'perch' cocohut was in the middle of the tank. (not the entire thing just the hut.) I fixed it, and I'm thinking if she doesn't use it in the next couple days i'll expand the perch to give her more room + support while she's up there. I think she might take advantage of it because she loves watching the rest of my household, so that would be a great vantage point for her.

While I was making it I had my mom over, and she's always been scared of snakes. When I was done she came over to look and eventually said, "I'd never want one, but they are interesting to watch." hehe that sounds like progress to me!
