My snake family has expanded from 4 snakes to 7, so I've been trying out some alternatives to the tank. It's getting difficult to maintain 7 decked out vivs!
Here is my first experiment. The RUB-Viv... a.k.a Really Useful Box. I like it much better than the Sterilites because it is hard plastic - doesn't bend as easy as Sterilites and it comes with a solid lid that holds it shape, so a snake cannot push it out. It can also be locked using the regular Zilla tank locks. I can't get away from having to make it a display viv, so I carved out a front panel and replaced it with plexiglass. I think it looks okay. We'll see how my spider likes it. He's freaked out about it right now. He has sinced settled into his warm hide (hide opening facing the back of the viv away from the clear plexiglass front for more security).
This is going into a shelf in the office (like a book shelf except deeper).
What do you think?
