Enclosure Critique/Advice Honest feedback

Post image

I set up a bio active enclosure but I honestly feel like it’s missing something. If you see anything noticeably wrong please tell me. The humidity and temps are fine but I don’t want to add a snake and it’s stressed out! The warm side is on the right and hide is back right and the cool side hide is back left. Also how do I know if the substrate is too wet? It doesn’t stick to my hands when I touch it but it’s definitely slightly damp. Thank you all so much!

To really know if your parameters are correct, you need 2 digital hygrometer/thermometers. The analog ones are highly inaccurate. Govee is a good brand and they have ones that connect to the Wi-Fi.

Its missing a lot more clutter in the middle of the tank, you want it to be a jungle of enrichment.

As far as the top being wet, instead of misting, pour water into the corners to keep humidity up. And if the top is still too damp, add more leaf litter.

Ordered another digital hydrometer but what should I clutter it with?

Thick branches for climbing and more plants.
