You may want to tear that UVB out mate, corns don't need it and it can pee them off

May I ask what the black stuff is on the glass on the top pic?

Nice looking stack, I'd put a vent or two in each end of the viv. To keep air flow good and constant.

looks great,but take the tubes out,they flicker at a rate not noticable to us but can really stress a snake.

Just get a small light fitting, with something like an 8w energy saver in it.
You'll still need a guard though, either that or for LED lighting.

The little energy savers do still get fairly hot, yes.

The LED ones however do not get hot.

Something like this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-x-48-LED-White-Flexible-Aquarium-Strip-Light-NEW_W0QQitemZ280419468852QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Pet_Supplies_Fish?hash=item414a4d8634

Will be fine.
I believe that some members on here use the LED ones already.
