    The background idea was all Cass :)

    We were going to get one of those aquarium prints to put behind, but we couldn't find one we liked. So plan B was to make a print we liked. However plan C, put more fake plants behind was Cass's idea and it looks great, from the front looking it it just looks like it goes back and back and back... :)

    The problem is the little back forest looks so convincing and inviting that Cleo keeps bonking her nose in the back glass trying to get to it, hehe. =)

    And thanks, it was super easy. I just grabbed a long rectangular brick of florist foam and several tropical/"West African plains" looking silk plants from the craft store, hack-sawed the foam in half (only have like 3 inches room between the tank and wall), ducktaped the two pieces together underneath and then with wire cutters, snipped the plants apart, trimmed them a bit to fit and stuck'em in. =)

    Oh that's a nice looking enclosure! Hey Cass and Rick can I run away from Mike and the kids and you guys could make me a nice big custom enclosure too? Really easy - a big comfie bed, toss me a pile of Godiva chocolates daily and fill my bowl with coffee laced with baileys and I'm basically low maintenance LOL.

    We will, of course, change your coffee daily... but I'm afraid you only get one Godiva a week... the plus side is that it will be equal to your girth :)

    love ur set up!


    just a thought im a big advocate of turning those suckers on their sides and having more floor than head space i also found it helped with humidity

    however if ur system is working perfectly leave it be!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've thought about that actually. But it seems fine as it is for now.

    Once the snakes grow out of thier vivs, we're probably going to go with stacking vision or similar enclosures.
