Tank updates
Right now this is our tank set up. Bottom right is my son's eastern fence swift Jess. She has a heating rock(with a temp gauge) and a heating lamp we turn on during the day. She has lots of things to climb and hide under. She sheds good and seems content. Top right is our new guu, a rescue bc named Severus. He has an injury we are getting treated and some scale issues so he is quarantined for now. He has a heating pad, large water bowl, some things to climb, but a pretty bland set up (we got him unexpectedly a week and a half ago, I'm trying lol). Need suggestions on making a list for his tank as it is an odd size and we can't seem to find a mesh one. Something simple and affordable I can make here at home. Next is bottom left. That's Houdini the bci and Gypsy the Ball. They are lovers (yes I know they can't actually be lovers) who enjoy snuggling, sleeping, and climbing on my face. They aren't very interested in moving about unless it's near feeding day or when I open the lid. The both seem content with their hides. One is on the cool side one on the warm. Heating pads yet again being utilized. They shed beautifully and eat well. Now, top left is trouble. He's my baby, luscious. Hog island boa. We rescued him in February. He was near death with scale rot, an RI, and was starving. Now he is fat and sassy. He has a heating lamp and pad. Stuff to climb and extra locks.because he likes being out of the tank. He's a climber and we plan to eventually build him a tall standup tank. Lately he has been, off. He hasn't eaten in a month ( we feed bi weekly), he seems moody and pissed. And then today while.i was cleaning the other guys tanks he hissed at me the whole time. I've covered his tank for now with a blanket. He is very active in general, but even.more so now. I'm wanting to improve his enclosure, in hopes that doing so he will relax a bit more. He hates hides. He almost broke the glass on the tank the last time I put one in there so that's out. But maybe plants to give him more privacy? What are good fake plants I can put in their tanks? And what can I do about substrate and humidity because that has been a challenge. Gypsy hates coconut sub. She won't get in it and acts very agitated with it.
Side note, all.of our snakes are rescues. We are doing our best. All of these snakes would be dead without us. We love them very much.
