    In the 4th picture, you can really see how cloudy blue Elysia's eyes are now. They weren't near that blue the other day for sure.

    It only took about 15min to set it up, I already had the stuff washed and disinfected, so I just had to put the substrate in and hides and stuff. I wanted her to have a better place for after her shed, but that big thing there for her to climb on has a waterbowl in it and its got some rougher spots to help her with her shed so I put her in there today.

    Yeah she is going to be the spoiled one. Soon as I sell my drumset, I'm gonna get my BP ^_^ The BP will be going in Elysia's old tub cause its a little bit longer and holds humidity better ^_^

    Elysia is going through her first shed with me, so she isn't as pretty as she was a few days ago, but once she sheds that skin I'm gonna post some updated pics of her, then you can see how good she REALLY looks ^_^

    Great job! I've been thinking of getting that same piece of deco for my Indigo. She looks like she's enjoying her new digs. I see you got the substrate finally done. Did you end up baking it?

    Thats one sweet setup! I like how you kind of burried the hides. Elysia looks very happy.

    Yeah I eventually baked it ^_^

    And this is how much of a dork I am:

    I took a picture of my substrate right before I put it in. I figured someone would want to see how I did it lol.

    She LOVES it in there, she never went under that log in there, today she is sleeping under it ^_^ Its has a built in water dish in that big plastic piece with all those holes, its great.

    BTW, the Humidity isn't at 44% anymore. I took a towel and misted both sides and covered the tank with it and the humidity is at 65% now until she sheds ^_^

    Sweet set up you got there! That seems like one happy snake!

    very nice setup! where did you buy that (plastic?) branch/rock from?
    So the oven worked well for the eco earth huh?

    Yeah it did ^_^

    I had to make some adjustments today. I realized I had the eco earth too thick under the hot hide, and the heat wasn't getting through, I also had the tank too high off of the heatpad and had to lower it some. I removed the ceramic hide and moved the log over to replace it. I thinned out the eco earth to a very thin layer under the log. I also emptied the plastic logs waterbowl cause it wasn't deep enough. I filled it sith some of the eco earth so it wasn't wet or anything and put the old water bowl back in.

    I gotthe plastic log thingy from Petsmart. She LOVES it, she goes behind it and climbs up through the holes and sits there in the openings. And she goes from front to back too sometimes. But mostly she is just sitting under the log now that I have the temps correct again ^_^ Her eyes are still blue so I figure I still have about 5-7 days left of shed. I was going to try and feed her today cause its her normal feed day, but I decided to wait. If she isn't done shedding by Monday, I think I might feed her then cause that will be 10 days since last feeding.

    Still looks good. If you do feed her before she's shed make sure her eyes aren't blue. But you can wait until she's shed. She'll be fine.

    Yeah her eyes have been blue for 3 or 4 days now. How much longer are they going to stay that way?

    it really varies. I've actually never kept track of how long any of my snakes take from beginning to the end of a shed. I probably should just for the heck of it. I bet she'll clear up in a few days and the a few days later she'll shed.
