Just a video I posted of my Sand Boa terrarium. I just made it the other day and all I need to add is some moss and details around the skull and side of the tank.

OMG you so need some action figure in there. To make it look like their giving a human sacrifice to the Snake God. Sweet set up.:)

Yeah heheh. Im going to add more green and possibly a little statue or african art of some sort. But Id like to keep the floor open as much as possible cause thats all he has really. He does use the top a bit though. Likes the skull.

No it didnt. Exo Terra backgrounds are a fake rock that in my opinion look faker than hollywood boobs. Terrible.

You did a fantastic job, well done! The ledge/overhang is that made out of stone or foam and what did you use for an adhesive?

Oh wow~ That's an amazing terrarium setup~ Absolutely love what you've done with the skull on a land shelf.~ What's that wiring in the hole to the left back corner(facing the skull) lead to?

Edit: Also, you a WoW fan? 'Cause I saw your scorpions setup(it's AMAZING, by the way), and the very beginning, and very ending, clip of music comes from WoW after you've died and you've released your spirit to run back to your corpse.

Thanks.
The ledge does have a bit of a rock like shelf yeah. Its a mix of foam and rock and silicone etc.
The wires are just my thermometer and such. That hole he uses to slither down.
(Yeah I use to play WoW till I realized I had a problem and had to delete my account to stop LoL)

Very cool, so that will be his hot hide?
You should think about doing that for a living, very impressive. If you ever need a vacation to the Maritimes, I'd love one!

Ahhhhh. You make absolutely stunning terrariums.~ Should really make a tutorial vid one day or something :D

And lol, I used to think I had an addiction but.. I haven't played in around 1 - 2 weeks 'cause my bf's laptop died. It's kinda dull without him, so I guess it's more of him than it is an addiction. I've played since Nov. 2004.

I have made a couple for sale before. I love making them. Im trying to win the exo terra contest because the prize is the large tank and I really wanna go crazy and make something incredible with it. But I never win much so Im not getting too hopeful hahah
The tank is hot at the back end and a little to the right of the tank. The back wall is heated as well and he has his cool in the front by the water and grass (he loves the grass). Ill post some pics when its 100% done. Should look a little nicer.

Yeeeyyy :D How much you sell your terrariums for, anywho?

Not much. Usually the cost of materials plus time. If you are interested in a quote feel free to drop me a PM but the cost of shipping might not make it worth it to you. I've only sold locally. Just depends on how much work is done. They don't take me long.

Well it'll probably be a really -really- long time before I'll be buying any form of cage, tank, etc. So, it's not too important for now.
