DIY cage with underground hides
I originally posted this on the caging forum but it is a DIY so I thought I'd share here. Not sure which is the correct forum.

More and more, I like this idea.
It allows for both a planted tank, and easy access to the snake. It also precludes having to warm the big tank, but keeps the animal warm below. I like forty-breeder glass tanks. Drilling the bottom, and setting up in a frame that would take the lower tubs would be a big project, but would have many advantages once finished.
I would take out the sliding lid the Zilla brand comes with, and incorporate a precisely fitted lid on the frame, piano hinged at the back (similar to OP kevall1's interior light box). The lid could have lighting, and possibly an RHP installed within it, and all the cords could be routed out down inside the frame's back. The whole thing could be nicely enclosed and very attractive looking.
Thanks to the OP.

Re: DIY cage with underground hides
That sounds like a great idea. I'm having a hard time seeing it completely in my mind, but I can almost see it. When you build it I would love to see it.

cleaning the underground tunnels would be a pain unless you could easily remove the bottom of the enclosure. That setup looks awesome !

I've been throwing around the idea of underground terra cotta hides for my Savannah Monitor to reduce weight of the soil. Probably going to do that for both it and my Mangrove as both require a large amount of soil.
Nice setup, by the way

If you check out the link to the other page that was posted in the first post, the underground hides are both pull out tubs.

Ah finally a "tank" setup I can get behind. This is the most natural attempt I have seen.

Thank you all. Yes, the "underground hides" are simply tubs that I can pull out and wash like any other tubs.

Oh my god, I didn't even realize this was the "how about both" thread. I was totally wrong in my assumption glancing at that thread, I'd thought you were just housing both tubs and vivs together, not that your viv was connected to your tubs.
This is officially AWESOME
