Here is what we have so far.. Looks kinda plain and ahhh brown.


I want to get some greenery, should I add anything else? A hidey house?? Can I add live potted house plants?? I've got an abudance of those.

definitely needs a place to hide.I don't know about the substrate.Somebody that use that kind of stuff might know.I would'nt want my snake swallowing any of that.I put all of my snakes on paper towels or newspaper.The snake looks awesome also!

Thanks snakeman.. I tried to get stuff that was listed "ok" on the care sheet here. The substrate was also recomended by a couple people I know who own snakes. ?

I like your setup, thats a very unique tank.

There are lots of ideas for hides, from commercial "reptile hides" from hagen or zoo med, to empty paper tubes, some folks use empty flower pots.

Small potted plants are definitely OK, I have some in certain cages here.

cracked clay flower pots are my favourites
nice set-up and a really nice snake you got there

Why not hand feed Tom, its great.. Most of mine either eat while I hold them or get placed in a feeder box until they are done with the meal.

Alright you can come over and hand feed my het silver.The only thing it will be feeding on is your hand though!LOL!A lot of my snakes (mostly the young ones) won't eat when I am around.Besides, I like the easier cleaning.

I do hand feed my pugets.Most of the time they wind up getting my finger.

Funny you should mention that Tom, my Puget tags me all the time. He's one of the most eager feeders I have.

My babies all get fed in small "sandwich" style totes $1.44 at most dept. stores.

The adults eat in 17 quart sterilite bins. I don't care much for feeding in the cages with the substrate.

It keeps them from fighting.

My blackneck is really the only one I have to feed in her enclosure, so I use repti carpet, that stuff rocks, easy to clean and reusable, no chance of ingestion.

Other than the fish.. wich I'm not sure he'll be getting anymore of. I had planned to feed him his next meal a pinky in a plastic shoe box. He really enjoys burrowing in the cedar mulch.. It's fun to watch the kids try to find his head.. a tail sticking out at one end and the head blending into the subtrate.
