Here's some great books on Terrariums

Natural Terrariums (Complete Herp Care Series): Amazon.co.uk: Philip Purser: Books

The Art of Keeping Snakes Herpetocultural Library: Amazon.co.uk: Philippe De Vosjoli: Books


Garters and pretty much all herps sold in captivity do make excellent subjects for Naturalistic Vivs.They have so many advantages over sterile set-ups (not only for the animal but for you as well )
Thanks I will have a look. The reason I'm a bit ocd about it is that I did end up getting an infested snake and although I managed to control the situation it bugs me, excuse the pun. Hubby also had several friends that kept snakes and they all smelled and he is amazed that ours don't. I tell him it was because the chaps were neglectful and there is no need for them to smell. I would love a natural set up I'm just unsure about adding animals into the mix.
