Has it got a tight fitting lid? Plus you will need to cover 3 sides of the tank with paper as snakes can get scared if they don't feel confined.
Your tank might actually be a bit large, especially if your hoggys aren't adults. Best pack it out with loads of hiding spaces, branches, rocks etc, to make it feel smaller. |

Having read your advice earlier, i have decided to get just the one snake for now while it is young, i have plenty of things to fill the tank with! yes the lid is a serires of hooks and bolts.
I am overjoyed to hear this news! |

At a terrarium the opening is at the front |
