I was asked recently by a friend of mine to put up some pics of this enclosure to give some idea of how a semi-aquatic enclosure could be set up.
This is a couple of pics of my old exo-terra enclosure now that the beardie has upgraded. I have forever wanted to have a semi-aquatic enclosure for my tree snakes and thought that the exo-terras would definitely be the way to go. enclosure is 45 x 45 x 60cm. water is heated to 27 degrees which is sustaining a nice ambient temp, 50W heat lamp is on through the day to provide a hotter area and decrease the humidity a bit. I currently have 2 sub-adult tree snakes in there. one blue/olive and one gold phase. the water is very murky as i have just put in some new gravel and no matter how much you wash it, it still messes up the water. In the water are 2 goldfish and 17 guppies who are very happy and also very readily available to the snakes. there is a small trickling waterfall in the enclosure to provide water flow and a small amount of oxygenation. All in all, the snakes seem to be happy in there up to this point (a few days) and I'm very happy with the outcome.
Pardon the quality of some of the photos and the format in which I inserted them into the post. I don't know how to add it to this website very well.
