HUGE new enclosure for my B. smithi

[Rickys_Reptiles]

Ok, so I've upgraded my B. Smithi's enclosure - and it's HUGE. Her original enclosure was round 18" x 12", but her new enclosure is 48" x 12"!!

I've still got some work to do, adding plants etc. The first 2 days she was in there she didn't venture very far, she spent those days pretty much in the corner. However, since then I've seen her walking all over - from 1 end all the way to the other. I'm very glad she's using the space already

Here are a bunch of pics:

Different view. Here you can see the tunnel that leads from the one end to the other. The tunnel will eventually be covered with dirt all the way to the top. the only way for her to cross from 1 end to the other will be through this tunnel:



This is her, hanging out in the corner when I first put her in:


The other end...currently this end is very wet. This end will be filled with grass and rocks.... and dirt of course. For now it isn't finished:


View from this end looking to the bark end (remember, there will be more dirt eventually):


Thanks for looking!

Thanks So far she has spent most of her time where all the bark is, but I have seen her on the toher end also. I was actually surprised to see her venture all the way across so soon. I suppose she's comfortable. I'll add more pics once I get some plants in there.

Ok, so after getting some advice and a kick in the pants I have decided to scrap this setup and go back to her previous setup - just larger. Here are some pics and a video:





And... for more detail, here is a video:

I added a piece of bark. The bark is set on an angle, and although only a bit can been seen, it actually extends all the way into the far corner. She can hide underneath the bark, and she can also dig a burrow under it if she wishes. The soil under the bark is fairly deep. I also added a small piece of lava that I brought home with me from Costa Rica.
