Re: Falkor & the Oracle pics
Geeze I want to get reincarnated as one of your pets! What a lovely enclosure for a corn as they like to do all that climbing and exploring.
Have you considered a nice aspen (ours we get is a very fine "chop" I guess you'd call it...no big chunks at all)? We use that with all our snakes and it's just fantastic stuff. Easy to spot clean, not large chunks so no worry about ingestion really, and feels lovely and soft (we do finger fluff it regularily though as our big heavy ball pythons tend to compress it and that interferes a bit with belly heat transmission). It's pretty cost effective too I've found.

Your snake is sooooo cute ^__^!! And the tank is really awesome looking, too! =D
Re: Falkor & the Oracle pics
I just might switch to aspen, although the Carefresh might be easier since we already use it for everyone else cept the kitty. Our birds and rabbits love it, and it's recommended for herps too, so not sure... but aspen looks a lot more comfy than the coconut husk we've been using! Last time we switched to the T-Rex snake chips, and Falkor completely spazzed and played the "floor is made out of lava" game till we put the darker coconut back in. So we're currently using both to ease him out of the coconut :weirdface He's such a weirdo, lol. /(^v^)\
I always loved the creative lengths a friend of mine goes to with her fish tank, and when we were finally setting up our first terrerium I went nuts. We went to art school together, so we're having fun with all the thematics. Her fish tank has a bizzare otherworldly quality to it that's a lot of fun. For Falkor, I went with an ancient Greek forest/Fantasia feel, and it's the second thing you see when you come in the apt. The first thing is a coffee table piled with creative chaos that looks awful, lol.
With Gomez I already have my eye on some cheap safe fake black roses from Micheals. Trying like hell to find a nice grey clay flower pot to chip into a hide, but everything I find is terri-cotta red... Hmm... :confuse: I know the snakes don't care, but it's fun. :D
Re: Falkor & the Oracle pics
Fantastic looking viv decor - that is really beautiful and creative. Sweet little snakes too :)
Re: Falkor & the Oracle pics
Thanks! Falkor's cove has become quite the centerpiece, we're very pleased. :)
Re: Falkor & the Oracle pics
Beautiful Viv for a lovely snake :)
I had to pipe up on this thread because when we lived in MI I had a samoyed (big white fluffy sled dog) and we named him Falkor because he *looked* like the Luck Dragon from The Never Ending Story. He was a great dog, loved him to pieces and had him for about 12 years before he died of natural causes. I could never get my dad to call him Falkor though, he'd always call him "velcro" <rolls eyes>

Re: Falkor & the Oracle pics
Awwh, thats so cute! He sounds like he was a real sweetie. Falkor is an adorable name. I know it makes more sense for white dogs and albino/snow snakes but Luck dragons are good to have around, no matter the color.
Re: Falkor & the Oracle pics
Hello just wondering what size is that tank? and what are you using for the heat. Thanks Aaron lovely snake
Re: Falkor & the Oracle pics
It's a 20L Critter Cage with a side mounted Zoo Med heater. :) Heres a pic of the UTI. We side mounted it mainly so it wouldn't slowly murder the table over time.
