Looks like a boring environment for that guy, especially for a climbing species. Cool snake, though.

is this ok? i need feedback to know what im doin right and/or wrong..please let me know..

i would really put a hide and some sort of fake folliage. I like to make realistic looking vivs, and some sort of cork bark piece would be nice give it stuff to climb over and under so it moves around and gets some excersize(sp). i wouldnt want to live there seems like it would be boring. lol.

do u maybe have a picture or anything i could base it off of or get some ideas...i put 2 hides in there and waiting to get some drift wood and stuff..so let me know..also how can i keep the humidity up?

If you cover the top part way with something it would really help to keep the humidity in. I have one of my snakes in a glass tank like that and I covered about 3/4 of the top with that aluminum foil tape and it helped keep more humidty in.

This link pretty much explains it all...

If you want humidity up, cover most of the top and lose the lamp for an undertank heater. You also need a control of sorts for your heat source/s. A thermostat or rheostat helps you more acurately control your temps. If nothing else get a digital thermometer that has an inside/outside setting like so:

These are inexpensive and available at most department stores. They are much more accurate then the dial or stick on thermometers. You will also want a humidity guage. If you look around a bit you can usually find a thermometer like the one above that also measures humidity. Again I highly recommend them.

You want to get to the point where you dont need to be constantly misting your cage. A steady 50-60% humidity is perfect.

Temps: 76-80 cool
88-92 warm
Humidity: 50-60%

At least 2 hides. Follage is nice too.

heres some new pics,,,what do u guys think??

and as soon as i get paid im going to get some vines and fake plants and drift wood, so thanks for all advice!! oh ya and give some more opinions...

I think you should watch what's on your table before taking pictures. :rofl:

And the accurite? You are going to get that at the same time if not before you get the plastic plants right?:)
