    Just do the research, because establishing proper conditions for the snake is paramount. It is possible with BP's. Two keepers here have posted pics of their enclosures. SnakeJudy IIRC, is one, I can't remember the other member. The best vivs I see are made for gekos and dart frogs - much higher humidity (complete with foggers, but you can adapt the principles). This is still artificial, and merely for our aesthetic enjoyment; jungles are not termite mounds.

    You still need to clean! I never bothered with spring tails, and pill bugs for the snakes. I did use my own garden compost as well as an Atlanta Botanical type mix from New England Herpetoculture. Personally, I think one might do best experimenting with successful plant only terrariums before subjecting a snake to their first efforts. You absolutely need a false bottom to collect the extra moisture. There is young man on YouTube "Sherpa" - something-or-other who keeps numerous terrariums and vivs, and has good how to videos on how to do this. Also, look at the Art of Keeping Snakes, by de Vosjoli.

    Proper husbandry for the snake comes first.
