Designing habitat/vivarium for my BP's
So we have decided that we would like to create a "living" habitat for our 2 juvi females. I want to create a large permanent sized enclosure. We're thinking 3L x 3W x 4H. Also thinking hardwood frame, and plexiglass walls. Think zoo style exhibit, that makes the animal feel really at home and be exceptionally healthy, but is also a hobby/joy for the owner to take care of and view as a whole habitat.
Sunken large water tub as they both enjoy swimming, and a circulating waterfall for fresh drinking water and decoration/ambiance with either a fogger in it, or an overhead fogger to help with humidity.
Multiple ledges, basking spots, climbing rods and vines, and hideys attatched to the walls, as well as hides on the floor with "below ground" hollows.
I want a natural floor that will sustain BP friendly plant life, so dirt with anchoring underneath for plants and mosses to grow, as well as something to create burrows for the snakes in. Debating a log of some sort.
Now, after all that, I was wondering if anyone else has done this, and has any suggestions/tips? I'm still doing my research, and this wont be started until at least january.
I'm not sure what plants would work best, what types of dirt I can use, what kinds of grasses are best, or if I should just stick with moss and no grass.
What kind of heating would be optimal for this kind of setup?
Any product recommendations as far as waterfall, foggers?
What kind of lighting would the plants need to grow healthy, but still be BP friendly?
Thats all I have for now, but I'm sure I'll think of more, and I look forward to ideas, tips, and advice
