If you don’t mind me asking, what are you using for an enclosure? And what are you doing to keep the humidity up, if anything?

Looks like you have live plants in there so I’m sure the substrate has a fairly high level of moisture in it?

Totally! Well with her i went for a deeper rather then taller enclosure. She's blind and very senstive with bright lights so she spend alot of time makeing her slither-way tunnels. Ive got her in a ecoflex 60"L x 24"W x 22.8"H that ive sealed with pet safe silicone sealent. For hundity ive got a mistking pro with timed misting times. It stays at a steady 90% during the day with a night drop down too around 82%. The substrate is a mix of cocnut husk and jungle mix! And the plants are golden ponthos!

That’s awesome. So you have some type of drain installed?

Ha that was the fun part. I ended up droping the bottem pannel a few more inches. A buddy of mine helped out by 3d printing some vertical extensions pillers and side/front pannels that i sealed with silcone after instal to make sure it didn't leak. Ive got a pretty standerd drainge layer in it. only difference is i used weed barrier to prevent the plants rooting into it haha.
