    Its all good:) For esthetic reasons I say go nuts and steal all the ideas you can, but make sure you check out our husbandry set-up and care sheets to give you a good idea of what you NEED to have and what just looks good;)

    And heres my set-up:)

    Notice I have two identical hides, Digital thermometers/hygrometers with probes, the top of the tank covered to keep heat and humidity in, a thermostat (not in the picture), a water dish, substrate (actually it's Scott Shop Towels) and some pretty stuff:)

    All my tubs look the same just different sizes for different ages... Not as nice as the glass one above but they do the trick;)... My hides are usually the same size but I underestimated the size on this guy when he got here and didnt have 2 of the larger ones... Same as missi said... 2 hides, digital thermometer/hygrometer, water bowl, flexwatt connected to a thermostat and something to climb on... most importantly a lock-top rubbermaid tub and big ol brick on top to keep the dang snake inside the tub!!

    I dont have any pics, but here are some suggestions:

    Use a small dog bowl that won't tip over as a water bowl. Usually cheapr then the "reptile" bowls pet store sell and many of them are dish washer safe.

    Substrate: I use 1-2 sheets of newspaper with some cypress mulch on top. Keeps the humidity up and if snake burrow under cypress mulch I don't have to worry about him pooping directly on the glass tank bottom. You decide to go with a tub or have baby under 350 grams, use newspaper without cypress mulch.

    Furnishings:
    Just remember everything you put in the enclosure, your snake will eventually poop or pee on. Purchase furnishings that are easy to clean, cheap, and dishwasher safe if possible

    Overall:
    Bigger is not always better when it comes to BPs. It is better to start off small and upgrade than to get something for the snake to grow into.

    Just my :2cent:

    Just using RHP on hotside, it keeps the hot hide at 90, hot side ambient at 85, and cool side at 80.
