Enclosure ideas?

My king snake has a very simple enclosure is there anything i can do to make it look a lot better without breaking bank? Also I recently found out that he is a climber he likes to climb or be hidden. Any ideas to make the enclosure more interesting to look at.

Re: Enclosure ideas?

i go up my local forrest and cut branches off trees,i think would look good in the tank

i put them in the airing cuboard (where our hot water tank is) to dry them out

i've picked up fallen branches,i use a power washer to clean them,then dry them out in my airing cuboard

also have a look for any unusual looking/shaped rocks,i wash them in the bath before putting them into the tank

cheers shaun

Re: Enclosure ideas?

You can use a bioactive substrate and add live plants along with those branches Shaun mentioned. Keeps the humidity nice for them and gives them fresh air, as well as looking beautiful.
