Beautiful accessories and tanks!
My corn finally became large and heavy enough to squash the delicate carpet of fittonia. It was very pretty, but I doubt it will last another month. Might just pull it while it is still alive. I love planted tanks, but they can be a challenge (just like planted fish tanks). The sanseveria, hedera helix, and potos growing in that enclosure are still going strong.
The way I look at it, a planted that is beautiful is still a lovely addition to the home even if the snake always hides. That said, I've only done them for the two snakes that had bad dry sheds otherwise. Of the other two, the rosy boa needs her environment dry, so the display tank is an arrangement of drift wood for her to climb, set in a Sani-chip substrate. Ditto (so far, for the baby Sonoran gopher). They are still attractive environments in glass boxes, but I don't have to run lights on them. Way too many plug-ins as it is!
