Re: new house

Very impressive, Hilde. I particularly like how there are enough places for your snake to hide and feel comfortable, but it is open enough that you'll probably always be able to see your snake. Is that a commercially bought rock background, or did you make it, too? Good job,
Rick

Looking good, Hilde.
I do not think the snake will tip over the water bowl. Itīs made of glass, I think and that is quite heavy.

Re: new house

Thanx for the compliments !!!
I think the snake like his new house to, because he's on the move all day long

I made the background from polystyreen with a layer of tile glue (don't know if thats the right translation. I hope you understand what I mean

Re: new house

Thats amazing..what paint did you use?
I want to do the same sort of thing, but want to be able to wash the background, so need a covering that is both waterproof but safe for the snake...

That is brilliant though, looks great!!
