Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Kenyan Terrium set up?
I am trying to decorate my Kenyan's tank but keep drawing a blank.
Do any of you have your cages decorated?
Could you send me pictures?
What plants are safe?

Thanks in Advance

I found that when I tried to decorate my Kenyan cage with a rock water dish and other things that they were constantly trying to dig underneath them, so much in fact my female had worn a little spot on her head. I had to take everything out.

I have some medium sized rocks and a Queen's Tear plant and have had no problem. He mostly likes to stay under the rocks or in his humidity box.

I use cork slabs a lot. Kenyans seem to like the feeling of having a little weight on top of them. The flat cork bark slabs provide cover and don't weigh so much that they have problems with rubbing against it. If you buy cork slabs you should put them in the oven for a while at a low temp. I have found bugs and/or small spiders on them before.
Another thing I do is take a piece of driftwood or grapevine and secure it to a slate tile as a climbing perch. You will be suprised how often a kenyan will climb on that.

kenyans dont need "decorating" all they need is aspen shavings and a water dish and a heat source like flexwatt heat tape or an undertank heater (they prfer belly heat) also with my experience dont feed in the cage...get a 97Cent shoe box sterile lite tub @ walmart/target ect... as for moisture..near shedding time i just use a gladware container thats been cut out(like an entrance) and i put some wet paper towels in it....

I have always fed him in a plastic shoe box. I did research on this snake b/f I bought him. I have a zoomed heater on the side of the tank and a light that sits on the screen top.
I did decorate his tank and if I know where to post a pic I would show you what it looks like. You can't post them in the forum or in this post can you?
Thanks

Let me know what you think.

your snake could easily get hurt with all that stuff in there....
all they need is an undertank heater, a heatlamp(not light!) ontop and aspen shavings (safer..less chance of ingesting it)

I hope the zoomed heater is on the bottom of the tank. Putting it on the side doesn't help the snake much, it is much more effective on the bottom of the tank (underneath). I also wouldn't have an undertank heater and a heat lamp. This gets it way to hot. If you haven't already try to purchase a PE-1 temp gun to get accurate readings on the temps of the bottom of the cage and buy a dimmer switch or thermostat to better keep the temps in a safe zone.
