Nessie Upgraded her Diggs
I have yet to get pictures, but I acquired a 100gallon aquarium off Craigslist for $50 (A steal in my opinion since it came with a 25ft long siphon and two good sized pieces of lava rock that my boyfriends Jack Dempsey's love) After extensive cleaning and some nice cuts from making a screen top I introduced Nessie (My Taiwanese Blue Beauty) to her new home yesterday morning. I planned on letting her settle for a few days before feeding BUT being the little piggy she is she kept hunting around her tank and staring me down like "If you don't feed me I will eat your soul."
There are a few things that I want to improve, the first being her lighting. It's not as well lit as I would like. Second I want more branches for her to climb on, she seems to enjoy the vine I have hung and the broom stick I put in there. And third... She needs a new humid hide. The cool whip container I have used for so long now cannot keep its lid on when she is completely inside. But with how natural her tank looks now I would like to maybe make something that looks less like a random piece of garbage in there. Or look for a long, not so tall tupperwear container I can hide under her bedding and hide the entrance under one of the rock hides in there...
But it is bed time and I shall post pictures tomorrow! (I cannot guarantee Nessie's cooperation though!)

Nice pickup on a tank for that price. I personally wouldn't use that size tank because I keep my tank on a stand and it would be hard to reach inside of it. As long as she's enjoying it and you provide her with hides, she will make her own tunnels for other hides then you'll be fine. Also just keep an eye on your temps and humidity.

And I might as well try asking here. Has anyone here bred them? Would incubation be the same as other Taiwanese/Vietnamese beauty snakes?
