    Oh no worries I just wanted to clear it up as not to put false info out there. I just felt connected with the OP because my set up is similar and I just had this experience last week so I was trying to help.

    I just have spent $100 on damn plastic suction cup plants for my thunder but heck it was money well spent I love seeing the way he moves about at night and scales those plants. I even got him this big stump looking thing that was apparently for fish but I thought it was awesome for my set up and has a lot of loops he hangs on top and about it like a king.

    I’ll be honest. I thought he was just going to hide non stop and switch hides but his activity truly pleases me!

    Omg let me start by saying love the set up BUT!!!! That tree unless you filled the bottom hole and your beep is small enough, this will eventually happen https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9986afb69a.jpg that one was my pastel enchi, and then not a few days later my banana did the same thing except he actually got stuck and this was the aftermath https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8c91befcb2.jpg
    Just a warning! [emoji13]

    Are you using thermostats. I know that’s another thing that is a must so just making sure cause without regulation it can be scary !

    Yeah, I have three thermostats and one hygrometer spread out around the tank

    That was my first concern when my friend gave it to me so I ended up filling up all the holes and tight spots I could find with plaster of Paris. When I moved I had to buy a new one, but the company fixed it and has all the holes plugged up now.

    I like to imagine that the snake in this photo is like "Damn, I thought we were playing hide and seek, and now you destroyed my favorite spot!

    Looks really nice, just be careful with that styrofoam background. I had the same ExoTara background in our leopard gecko's tank and the heat from the CHE actually melted it. Thankfully the fumes didn't appear to cause any issues with the gecko and it didn't burn my home down.

    Wow really !!! Now I am extra glad that I got rid of mine early on maybe my snake was trying to save my house from burning down by climbing behind it and frustrating me to the point of removal
