    Two members, Argentra and Butters420, are really helpful with explaining tanks set-ups to people and I'm sure they'll chime in. I have my snakes in racks systems and cages, which is why I offered the link to glass set-ups to get you going
    Agentra helped me a ton with my tanks, He gave me full pictorial instructions for modifications that are very cheap... now I have perfectly regulated tanks....

    Yes, I would recommend moving the tank away from that window ASAP and get it covered on three sides. Also, you might want to add a bit of decor for the snake to hide amongst in addition to two identical and close fitting hides.

    That top is interesting...homemade? And is it wood? If so, it might not be that good for a BP tank since they need 50-60% humidity at all times and 70% during sheds. That humidity can warp a wood top creating openings. Just saying...

    Yeah, its wood, cheap wood at that. I really like how good i made it, but i was thinking about just getting a replacement sheet and making sure its pressure treated. as far as warping goes though, itll have to lift it off of a heavy bead of industrial sstrength liquid nails lol

    I highly recommend you replace it with either a plexiglass top or a screen top foil treated. Even pressure treated wood can warp or split with constant moisture unless it's totally sealed with Polyurethane. And I've heard that the chemicals they use in pressure treated stuff can be harmful if they leach out. For safety sake, and ensuring no future escapes, I would scrape off that liquid nails and change that lid. Just my though.

    And I doubt they ever will, Starmom.
