I have come to the conclusion that decorating and designing a snake enclosure, or any enclosure is an artform in itself. I have also come to the conclusion that I'm not very artistic! Hahaha
I'm redoing Montey's enclosure because I hate the way it looks (my enclosures are all meant to be showcase type enclosures). I'm only so-so with Numair's. And I don't have Chaos (the ribbon snake) anymore. lol
Any suggestions would be cool, or just take a look anyways for the love of enclosures lol

I wish I had the patience to keep up my snakes Viv's like that. They look gr8. I use teracota plant pots for hides & newspaper substrate. Very low maintainance.
They look good! I've seen MUCH worse display tanks. My leos spring to mind in fact ;).
The only suggestion I can offer is to maybe bury the bases of your decorations to heighten the illusion of a natural surrounding? And give the snakes something to burrow into?

Spyderman: I'm a BIT like that, I have newspaper UNDER the bark, makes for easier cleaning! Hahaha And i do use the teracota pots, they're just great :)
Jay76: Actually I like the idea of burying the bases :D

Natural Viv's are definetly the nicest looking. Nice work.
I was going to ask - do you have any full body shots Montey? That peekaboo head shot kind of made me want to see the rest of her :)

Nice! I wish I could decorate like that. Mines just newspaper, climbing stick, half log(s), and a few fake plants that stick to the side of the tanks......

those enclosures put mine to shame, all I have is hides, water dish and bark chips for substrate, damn snake constantly burrows lol, when I want to take her out I have to dig for her.

Oliverian, don't worry, Chaos is in good hands. My best friend has always wanted a pet snake so I helped her with the new enclosure and such. And since she couldn't afford a 200$ snake. I told her to get some experience with a Ribbon Snake and gave her mine :)
