Judy, that is exactly what I was hoping to hear. I am also an aquarium (fish) enthusiast and I just love making visually appealing habitats for my animals. The items I have in my shopping carts are lots of artificial plants, vines, branches, stumps, stones, and a lot of really neat looking, natural decor that I was really looking forward to having enough space to use it all. I was hoping to be able to have a large habitat that gives my snake room to explore, and options on where to be, but ultimately the snake's best interest is what I am most concerned about. I don't want to do something just for me and have it be bad for my snake. I will get a hygrometer for sure if it is important.
