Lan Fan the Japanese Rat Snake

[Starscream]

DIY is risky. A lot of planning and work goes into it, but it's so rewarding when it pays off.

I like the way you secured your sky hide to the ceiling. I imagine it's pretty easy to remove. Mine's secured with thumb bolts, and kind of a pain to remove. I see a redesign in my not to distant future.

I agree with Homebody on all counts. Great when the hard work pays off and wow, that sky hide is awesome and ingenious.

I like that sky-hide attachment too- I have some of those food containers & the tops are very secure but also easy to operate. Great idea! And she's clearly making great use of all the decor-lucky rat snake!

Yeah I do love the simplicity of the food container. I use them for my ball python as well. This one's a bit on the big end but is working until I can find something more Lan Fan's size. Going to be real didn't expect the winner from y'all to be a DIY sky hide I made 3 years ago from a cheap food container and some black paint lol.

She seems fairly happy from what I can tell. She's exploring and not being quite as skittish as she was in the glass enclosure. Not being able to see out on all sides I think is helping with that. Slowly cycling her heat elements back up from being in brumation and we will likely attempt a feed near the end of the month.
