    Oh, and I took some silk vines and wrapped them around the tree branches... looks cool. :-)

    I just want to point out that fake plants, that aren't intended for terrarium use, need to be cleaned often. The plastic plants you can find in pet stores are far more hygienic, althouhg they are a lot more expensive.

    I like the silk ones a lot, but since I had that mite problem I have held off putting them back, because they're not so easy to clean
    now I prefer plastic for practicality

    I wash the silk in the same way as the plastic. very weak bleach, thrash it about in the water , rinse and shake dry

    as you can see,
    i have also a lot of water in my tank,
    but the ground is dry and the snakes are doing well
    there are real plants in it and some fish in the water.
    so i think that it is also possible to make a waterfall in your tank, ( you can put a little filter in it too )

    thanks guys! I have part of the tank done and Rook is in it, I still want some bark for part of the substrate and greenery, we are going for real plants, as we like these kinds of challenges lol.
