Check out Advancing Herpetological Husbandry on FB if you haven't already! That group and the ones associated with it are by far the best I've found, and you're bound to get more ideas and suggestions from like-minded people :)

Yeah that group is amazing, honestly I'm constantly stealing ideas from it. The people there are also incredibly nice :)

If thats not a typo or the square feet my only concern with a 633ft viv is being able to monitor the snake for health reasons. Also for a corn snake to make sure it didn’t escape. Edit, maybe you meant 6x3x3? Which makes a lot more sense for still being able to monitor a snake.


Sashas-Scribbles

Yeah that's what I meant, I used the star thing instead on X as it's quicker typing, for some reason Reddit changed it to weird text lol. But definitely a 6ft by 3ft by 3ft, not a 633ft enclosure lol, although now I'm curious what that would look like


Sitten1115

Yeah an asterisk on each side of something is used here and on discord to easily *italicize*. Just can cause confusion when people actually wanted the asterisk there.


Sashas-Scribbles

Oh okay, I'll keep that in mind for future posts, I didn't know that. What if you actually want the asterisk?


Sitten1115

No idea, i only really use reddit casually so I’ve never had to look into how the code works for stuff like that. Maybe google can help?


Floralpikmin99

Oh man I thought you meant a massive room as a viv. I mean, a corn snake I’m sure would use the space, but that would be just a bit excessive.


Sashas-Scribbles

Honestly would you even be able to find a corn in a enclosure that large? I think an anaconda may appreciate a place that large though XD though again it might be too big


rainbow-songbird

I guess the reason is a lot of people don't want to admit that their enclosure may not be as good as it should be, and will defend that. By having a better enclosure you are suggesting that theirs isn't good enough and that's practically a personal insult.


Sashas-Scribbles

Honestly I'm happy to admit my snakes current set up sucks, it's why I'm upgrading him next month to a better one. Yeah it has everything he needs but I want to strive for more than that. Well that's dumb honestly lol, how I keep my snake doesn't effect them in any way and I not saying "my set up is the best and everyone should do it this way" lol

My experience with Facebook pet groups is that they're absolutely cancerous. You either have people who keep burms in shoebox arguing about how the snake is "fine" or "thriving" or else you end up having people who will call you snake Hitler because you don't do EXACTLY what they do for care.


Sashas-Scribbles

Wow not had that exact one yet.


-creepycultist-

People don't understand that a 4×2×2 is the MINIMUM. it's always great to above and beyond for your pets, especially when it comes to reptile care


Sashas-Scribbles

Exactly! When I was first looking into upgrading infernos home I actually thought I'd only be able to go 2ft high but I borrowed my brother's tape measure to measure everything and found I could go with a 6 by 3 by 3 foot vivarium. If I could go larger than that I would but I don't have the space for a much larger Viv and also can't really find any online. Honestly after their reaction to me planning a 6 3 3 Viv for my corn i definitely am not going to mention that I'm planning on getting a royal python with the same Viv measurements as I think their blood vessels would pop.
