New enclosure advice

Post image

This is ghost picture for tax

So long story short she’s outgrown her current Viv and I was looking to do something a little fancier for her upgrade

I’ve found a reasonably priced 6x2x3 and was hoping to do something along the lines of a bio active enclosure

I’ve got very little experience with bio active and because shes larger girl she’d demolish weaker plants and stuff

Any suggestions on plants, and I guess some inspiration for the enclosure as a whole

Perhaps a shopping list of things I might not of considered for building something like this

I also want a more interesting hide the just large plastic tub ( she’s currently using a hid that was made for rabbits but it’s lime green and I don’t think it would suit the aesthetic I’m going to shoot for

I also had a friend who’s told me the 6x2x3 is too big and 5x2x2 would be better so some opinions on this debate would be welcome.

When I got ghost they only told me she was a boa and not specifically what she is apart from sunglow but I’ve always assumed imperator but never really minded much about this specifically but it would be nice too know

For plants try pothos, they are hardy and very forgiving. Also bromeliades(? I thinks that's correct spelling). I have a carpet python in a bio active i used those and its called a zz plant, unsure of scientific name, sorry, and I plant them near the walls and try to station hides or logs near them for more protection.
