3x2x2 Modification for Antaresia

[Homebody]

Just off the cuff here, but I'm not sure that using a milk carton for a hide is a good idea. Milk cartons are generally wax-coated cardboard- which is soft enough to make it difficult (or maybe impossible?) to completely wash out, & milk, as we all know, can spoil, so I'd be afraid of such a container holding a bit of moisture + bacteria to which your new little friend won't have been previously exposed to. How will you even know if he defecates inside it? I'd find another cardboard box to modify & use, personally.

I'd also use a real (small) bowl of some kind for him to drink from. Water evaporates much more when it's spread out like that in the tray- that's fine for just adding humidity but I wouldn't expect him to drink form that- & you'd have to be checking it all the time to make sure it's not evaporated, leaving him with NO water, & all that checking will be stressful, for him, at least.

Not so sure about the overturned bowl either- that's not an obvious place to dash for cover with no visual door. I'd modify a small inverted cardboard box, personally, or a plastic food container.

I'd rate your tub as "room for improvement"- (I haven't assessed the first photo yet.)

I don't have a lot invested in the milk carton, so I don't mind letting that go. I don't want to invest in hides until he arrives and I have a sense of how large he is, so I've been looking for food containers that would serve in the short term. I'll find another one.

I don't have a lot invested in the stainless steel tray either. I found it on the side of the road. I thought it would make a great water bowl. It's difficult to turn over. It's easy to clean. It's large enough to soak in. Then I tried it out and the humidity level went through the roof. The tub is way better at retaining humidity than I realized. I was so disappointed I suppose I'm still trying to find a way to make it work. A water bowl small enough to keep humidity levels down will be too easy to tip. I figure I'll use it a humidity bowl. It's great for that. It'll keep me from having to mist the paper shreds. If I ever do need to jack the humidity way up it's nice to know I'll have an easy way to do that. My snake can use the water bowl in the terrarium to drink from and soak in.

The fruit bowl was another disappointment I'm repurposing. It was originally a water bowl but I immediately noticed that it's too easy to tip. This is just my original set up. Once I have a chance to observe how my snake uses it, I'll modify it (no doubt extensively) to meet his particular tastes. Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. I really appreciate it.
