Ater 5 weeks of grueling layby payments, I can finally bring home my snake enclosure plus thermostat/lights/heatimetter. I'm going to buy the water dish and this cool hollow branch to stick on the bottom of the tank but what else should I have in there? Something that the snake can enjoy but also make the tank look good. Any ideas? |

No. I live in the suburbs but keep my horse on a mate's farm. Why? |

I'll set up the tank as awesome as I can with what room I have. Still thinking about what snake to get. Haha. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Oct-06 Location: Brisbane Age: 18 | | | | 4ft x 2ft x 3ft. I only relly like the Hypo Bredlis, some normals are alright. I'm quite picky with colouring =/ I'm thinking more along the lines of a Murray Darling or 2 Blonde Macs |
