OK- heres my forst attempt at habitat photography with my new/old sony cybershot. (Kodak wasn't up to this.)

I think my tank is a 20 tall. It was purchased used, with a working under tank heater taking up about half the floorspace. It is covered with a slab of marble to diffuse the heat.
On top of the marble are two hides- a coconut shell and a Hersheys coco box full of wet spaghnum moss.
At the right is a rock shaped hide that holds to the glass with magnets. Doesn't get a lot of use unless Trax is looking for a little privacy. Behind that is a pet food dish with cut out handles that provides another hide.

Over all this is a large sturdy multi branched pece of wood that is their favorite basking area.
Hanging from suction cups on the back wall are two artificial plants. These are very popular when their are little ones, but the bigger snakes don't seem to feel secure in the bendy little branches. Trac is about 20 inches long, Rooster about 16. Trax weights about 45 grams.

Disadvantages- must remove branches to pull out and change water and damp hide. Small floor space means the floor sarts looking poop filled fairly quickly.








This is Trax Begging.
She knows food gets delivered to this spot on the floor, usually right after I've cleaned the cage or handled them.
This is her 'OK, where's the food' attitude. Rooster is still learning the routine.

They don't climb up to meet me, but they spend much of the day coiled in knots on the driftwood in the middle of the cage, and they seldom bolt in reaction to the presence of a person. Trax usually doesn't bolt when the lid is moved and usually reacts calmly to being touched or picked up. She has occasionally taken worms from tweezers, but the Butlers seem to prefer head sweep hunting, and that works better on the ground.

OH yes!! Because of all the handy vines and limbs, clips or heavy Rocks on the lid are VITAL. They love to wedge their bodies on the tiny ledge just under the warm metal lid and won't hesitate to press any advanatage they can find in their explorations.
