My pride and joy is this false bottomed 33 gal with land and water. We keep three ribbon snakes in that one.

All the viv's are made with ground coconut (coir, bed-a-beast), with a touch of potting soil. Better soil could be made, but this seems good enough that so far none of my plants have gone through repotting shock. Plus I'm a broke student and can't afford all those nice fertilizers and no car so I can't go out to neat rock yards and find decomposed granite and the like.

I can type out how I made the land water viv no problem, just a in a bit a rush right now and I'll take more pics to illustrate what I'm saying, it's funny cuz I had pics of the actual construction, but I deleted them.

Very nice tanks.
How does the ventilation work in the shower stall?
