    New vivarium setups
    I just finished setting up my 55 gallon vivarium for my female phantom and a 26 gallon vivarium for my male pastel. Both have hides at both ends, with heating pads across the lower ends. They also have heating rocks - both do not get only warm, really. Everything will become more green as the plants grow.

    Let me know what you think, I still have to add some climbing branches for both.

    Substrate is mostly coco coir, with tropical leaf litter and tropical plants. There is also a tropical moss assortment from a local pet store. You can view the female phantom on a webcam (no sound) at the following address: https://video.nest.com/live/s7LXmUHnX0. It goes off at night, when the lights do.

    And also....
    Their names are Rosa (phantom), and Charley (pastel). :)

    I personally would never recommend using a heat rock. They don’t have any type of regulation to them and can malfunction, severely burning your snake. As for the heat mats, are those regulated by thermostats?

    Sorry, forgot to mention the castle. It looks cool, bit please check for sharp edges inside and make sure the openings are large enough the snakes can’t get stuck.

    Pretty much the same was said over in husbandry.

    Ah, hadn’t seen that post yet. At least we’re all consistent. 😁

    I just hope OP doesn't think we are just attacking him. Looks like he might have a few issues to sort out.
