Hi, I know this might sound like a strange question...but Inca's growing out of her faunarium and the only tank I have right now is a 45x45x45 glass exo-terra terrarium which my hamster used to live in. Do you think it would be OK to use for Inca if I really cleaned it out and gave it to Inca?

I can't afford to get a new Vivarium at the moment, but will do as soon as I can do.

Hope you can help x

P.S - Inca's doing really well and is growing well. Is feeding brilliantly, and constricts every time. She's now on fluffs as well. Will try and get a few photos up of her soon as I can find the wire to my camera.

I've got Peri in a slightly taller one atm and she's fine in there for now :) Though I managed to pick her up a 4x2x1.5ft for £25...but she's not quite ready for it yet :P

No reason why not, as long as it's escape proof. You could cover up 3 sides of the glass ( if you want it really nice, you could stick one of the "stick on background posters " used for fish tanks on the outside of the glass ) - that would make your snakey feel much safer.

Oooh, I love the hanging coconut, and so does the snakey, by the looks of it :-).

It doesn't have to be a fish tank poster, you could even cut out a picture of a nice landscape from a magazine, for example, and stick it to the outside :-)

I've just had permission from my parents that I can get a new vivarium next week when I get paid from work...so yay! I know the one I want to get Inca and that's the small version of the Viv Exotics Compact version on Swell Reptiles. It's perfect size for Inca and it also means I don't have to keep her in the glass tank now, which is a real reminder of my hamster Pepper, who died a couple of days ago and I don't want anything to remind me of Pepper now, so glad I can get the new Vivarium now.

I won't be moving Inca into her new Vivarium until it's fully set up and she's got through a couple of days after a feed.

Many thanks for your replies though, they have helped xx

I think it looks great - I've seen several posts about corns liking hanging hides. How have you hung them up Tally? Have you fixed them to the roof somehow?
