I know the pics is not that great though......

A note to Cass, I love keepin my snakes in tanks. Esp. The ones inmy livin room, cause they're nicely displayed. However, I am gonna have to switch my balls to a rack w/tubs, cause my collection has grown so fast, and keeps growing. I just don't have the room anymore for ALL my tanks. But, the rest are stayin in tanks..;)

:eek::eek::eek:WOW WOW WOW:eek::eek::eek:

Rock on with your tank self Cass :rockon:

I have most of mine in tanks now; one lives in an r-maid. For I'm-in-a-hurry-little-time-for-cleaning, I think the r-maids rock. Lately I have found myself with little free time and more chores; I really can't spend much time cleaning out cages. And add to that a current bout of mites; my tanks are nothing to look at. Paper towel substrate; hides of varying sorts (TV-dinner trays cut to size/upside down plastic planters, etc) heavy dog bowls for water. Once these mites are cleared upwe will be building a rack, but I plan to keep my BCI as more if a display snake; he will never live in a tub. I have a ince cage now that'll be good for a few years and then he'll go into our 125g tank or if our fish are still alive (which they will mostlikely be) then we'll build something :)
I really miss cypress mulch, but with the mites, can't do it right now.

Wow, I'm surprised this thread went in a tub vs tank direction! I expected it to be more natural setup vs unnatural setup after that one post!

I love naturalistic set ups! They're beautiful! But really, whatever style of decor we choose is for us. Snakes don't care what the display looks like, really. They don't have the best eyesight to begin with, and most of our snakes are captive bred so they don't know what their environment is "supposed" to look like anyway.

If it's a tree branch, a resin statue, or a He-man figure, all the snake knows is that they're climbin on somethin! They care what it feels/smells like, not what it looks like. What it looks like is what WE care about. :)

Also, I'm a fan of belly heat over lamps, but then I live in AZ. Belly heat is a lot less likely to dry out the poor dears over here than lamps will.
