this was the setup for Robin and Albion when I first got them, only I added toilett rolls and roll off lino i got for one of the rooms.and sum more things was pretty basic. they take turns normally inside it under plant but today decided to curl up inside together im not happy but until monday nothing I can do . Ive got extra's but will add it all when I get new viv and I will make both vivs nice ..

You did so well making their old viv better than it was Andria . I can't wait to see what both vivs look like when you've finished with them. It might be a good idea to split the hides between each viv and also put some of the substrate from the old viv in the new one, so Albion has some of the old smells and will hopefully settle in better.

yh im gunna move the cardboard roll in corner into Albions. as Albion is always in it . so thought wud make him abit more comfortable. imdoing Robins too same time so .thought albion was the better candidate for the new viv since he smaller and he the 1 who likes to try escape thro that hole where light is , thats how he must have got burnt before at previous owners .

thats why I fed them today knowing I have like 2 days until most of the things come so gives them time to settle before the move.

You've done it the right way round Andria, feeding them while they are still settled and then moving them once they can be handled. I would suggest, if you take longer than expected to get it ready, that you keep them together until after the next feed. Don't change them and then feed them the same day or even the next....they'll both need time to adjust.

I'm glad Albion has a tube that he prefers and can be moved with him. It is right that he goes in the new viv, because of the size....and his tendency to try to escape through that hole!

Don't worry, I know we need to keep the old man happy so will pass any commission on to him....can't be seen to be profiting personally .

Here is Willow's Set up. It's not mind blowing but she seems happy in it!



Here is deciding to climb!



Does the size look OK for her or is it time to upgrade?

It's absolutely perfect for her Redware , it's exactly what she needs. The general rule we go by for knowing when a snake needs to move to a bigger home is when their length equals the length plus width of the home they are in. I suspect Willow will be happy in her home for a bit longer .
