I'm about to start sketching ideas for a display tank, and would love to see any design ideas/plans or photos of actual tanks anyone feels like sharing for inspiration.
Here are my basic requirements:
To house 5 semi-arboreal Candoia bibroni bibroni (Fiji Boa), adults, all about 1m 50 (5') might grow to 2m (6') in time, housed as 2 separate groups by sex (2 females, 3 males), so need split tank or 2 tanks to stand very closely together (have limited space)
Do not need to worry about temp or humidity as tank is in open air room in their natural conditions (makes life VERY simple)
These snakes spend some of their time under floor hides and some of their time on high branches. They are very active at night and like to have a lot of space to move around in. They also like to bathe so need reasonable floor or shelf space for bathing bowls and multiple hides.
Space available up to 2m/6'tall, about the same wide and maybe 1m/3'deep
Here is the tank they are currently in, made of plywood, perspex and garden shade cloth. I want something a bit nicer to look at (it's in my living room), but need to separate the sexes.
All ideas gratefully accepted!
