Semi aquatic enclosure

[smudgelg]

I have seven snakes and have had them for years without issue I am just looking to spice up an enclosure or two and have seen some with tiny pools in it. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do that without putting up a glass divider. I want to do it for my hypo vanishing pattern tangerine Honduran milk snake. Can anyone kinda give me a step by step? I have an exo terra cage. I was thinking the exo terra turtle cliff for a filter, but i do not know how to separate the water and dry part.

The TetraFauna filter seems decent and I would set something up so the substrate doesn't absorb all the water.

Ya I am just not sure on how to do that, and thanks i will check that out also.

You could do some sort of ceramic or plastic thing for the water and paint it similar color to the substrate.

other ideas? simpler the better

The simplest thing to do is to use plexiglass


Other then that you gotta buy the stuff so that the water doesn't sit in your substrate.

Here's someone elses semi aquatic enclosure.

could i use rocks and or those turtle pebbles and than build my substrate on top of that once it gets to a point where its dry?

You can get a substrate divider here and here.

I'm assuming gravel would work but hydroleca would be better

I used Plexiglas and silicone. I used a propane torch to heat it for bends. Beware they do poop in the pool. I'll grab pics later.
