Im setting up tank for miss siss help please

I don't have any living plants (or fake ones) in with my BPs, but here are three tips I'd offer.

1) Make sure it is very sturdy (something woody like ficus?), because BPs grow to be extremely heavy-bodied snakes and can topple them over, break them, etc., in their natural nocturnal wanderings.

2) Go with potted plants only, with low, wide shapes. This will allow you to remove them for cleaning her enclosure, repotting as they grow, etc., as well as reduce the odds of her knocking them over. You could get really cool pots that add to the "decor" that you want. If you're concerned about not using soil for bedding any more, I recommend cypress mulch. It still has a nice, earthy color and holds humidity well.

3) Use untreated topsoil only - no fertilizer or Miracle Gro. I think you mentioned in your other thread that you already knew about this, but I'm just reiterating.

4) Yes, I said three tips, but thought of one more! Keep it simple to start - one or two plants - so you can judge how easy everything is to care for, if the plants/pots are sturdy enough, if you can maintain the rights temps/humidity, etc. It's always easier to add than subtract, and the more "stuff" in the terrarium, the more you have to clean on a regular basis.

Good luck and keep asking questions.
