    Live plants are my friend

    Someone before was concerned than my enclosure didn't have enough places to hide. I thought she was already outgrowing her enclosure but nevertheless I did thing the tank looked a little barren. So I planted some philodendron right into the plantation soil and pinned them against the class with suction cups. I think it looks really nice, and she seems to appreciate the added security



    I also plan to add in a very small umbrella tree but I wanted to allow the roots to grow a bit more. They were damaged during repotting. For that one, I will leave it in the plastic pot.

    Eventually I want to add some moth orchids. The great thing about orchids is the flowers produce pollen in the form of a paste that is only removed through transfer onto whatever insects pollinate them-no dust. They enjoy similar environments to ball pythons and they naturally grow with their roots wraped around tree branches. I could put it on a nice piece of driftwood like that one. I may leave that project for a few years in the future during a tank upgrade.



    Plants are an obsession of mine. I think it's a beautiful thing to put these two things together

    Questions? Comments? Live plant enclosures of your own to share?(I'd love to see!) :3
