Re: Yet another project

I don't have a sound justification for my opinion, but I wouldn't do it.

Re: Yet another project

Yeah, I'm not even going to bother testing if they get stressed or not. It's just going to be a wall made of the same material as the rest of the terrarium; 18mm wood. If everything goes according to plan, the garters will move in on friday. About 2 weeks later, when the second terrarium is finished, I'll divide it, split up the garters and house the male and the corn in that one. When the corn gets too big, I'll build that third one.

If I get rid of my TV (I don't use it that much anyway), I'll have space for 3 more.

Re: Yet another project

Thanks, all of you. I'm definitely not satisfied by the way it's decorated (lacks climbing opportunities), but it's an issue that will be solved over time. And the basking spot seems a bit too hot (36-38 degrees Celsius).

Re: Yet another project

Stefan: That looks really great! It is fun trying to figure out what you want and how to do it, and you are right there are those “how could I be so stupid” moments. I just try to keep in mind, in the end the snakes couldn’t care less.

Re: Yet another project

Thanks.

Right now I'm thinking about scavenging my older enclosures for parts. I could use the swinging lexan doors from one of my old ones, but then I'd have to figure out a way (actually I already did) to cover an opening 111.4cm wide with pieces that together are 109.6cm wide.
