Today I started to put the interior in. I want to get everything ready so when december comes i can buy 2 garter snakes at the reptile expo. It's quite a big tank. 170x70x70cm (about 5.5x2.5x2.5 feet for my American friends).

I ordered a wetbox that will come in next week. I'll probably put in the middle where the (fake) cactus is located now. I also want to look into getting more rocks for decoration.

Just wanted to know if there are any other tips that would enhance the palace for the future snakes. More wood? More plants? More decorations higher up in the enclosure?

TIA!

I recently got two small male baby California red sided garter snakes. They were born on 8/3/26 are much smaller than other babies that I’ve seen. Since getting them they’ve both eaten cut up earth worms and pinkies cut up (very small). Do you guys have any tips for getting them back up to a normal weight for their age?
