I have always wanted to do a really natural set up for a corn. Like natural looking ground that looks like the areas they come from, leaves bark etc. All with a southern theme, from their actual range. I think it could be really nice if someone could do this with some false logs, and maybe leaf litter. Really natural. But then again corns can be found almost anywhere in their range..so I mean even a barn or a car tire could be considered natural. LOL. :)

For cool-ness..(lol) I'd go jungle. :) Or maybe beach scene? :)

i WAS thinking beach but then that leaves me nothing for the floor...sand isnt corn snake friendly is it?
im all for novelty things! i wish i could do a disco theme!:) aah

I have my corn on potting soil with leaves all over the bottom with a few branches that go from corner to corner.

NEVER MIND!!!! i decided "natural corn snake habitat" would be best:) i went out today and the only thing good enough was tree branchy things! so basically thats all i could get:)so ive gone with an autumnal forest scene with some nice ferns too! aah the wonders of silk plants!
i got some pretty nifty pieces of wood too! im gonna have some fun now! ill post piccies later! wood is actually a lot cheaper than i thought it would be! £3-£5:) its to cold to go out log hunting!
thanx :D

Remember that esthetics should be balanced with functionality. Usually, the more natural looking you make it...the more work it is to clean. You want to be able to sanitize everything that is in your snake's enclosure.

Sounds like your enclosure is looking pretty good...lets see some pics.

i'd like the jungle one....personally!

i dont think it would be so much work, i only have one snake after all! this snake definately deserves something special! i just realised he was the first snake i ever held! and the my very first pet snake, i have to say hes pretty damn special!
i need a substrate now:( i wanna use bark chippings or wood chippings. but all of the wood chippings i find are stained brown?
and the special stuff for reptiles cost £10 a bag and its not enough to fill even half of the viv..........btw garden chippings are ok as long as i sterilize them first right?
