Live plants in vivariums?

I like the holey rock hide in the corner! Where did you get that from?

I actually made that. I am starting to make 3 more. 2 for my other cages and 1 I am going to try and sell locally. They can be rinsed off with a hose if they get pooped on. The snakes love it, it has 2 caves.

What kind of garter is that?

She is a Thamnophis Sirtalis Fitchii, a Common Valley Garter. I have 2 girls. They are really sweet snakes, and pretty More pics...

Aww they are really sweet! Beautiful colouring.
What is the hide made out of? Expanding foam? What paint and waterproofing do you use?
I made a castle style hide out of polystyrene, painted it with acrylic paint and going to use yacht varnish to coat it.
It's brilliant, looks really realistic!

Oh Pain In The Arse! HA HA got ya

It does sound like a bit of a hassle but they look so nice!

Maybe I should just get a plant for my room in general and just let him climb in it when I get him out.

Those two in the last pic look like they are going to kiss

Yea, those plants(Pothos) seem to be pretty "survivable"(couldn't think of a real word....). My ex's mom had one at her house on the coffee table, that just sat there. I guess she would water it every once in a while, but it survived very well for years. Probably still alive....
