What's up guys? We are so excited to have Albino Nelsons Milk Snakes available for purchase at our Point of Sale, and so of course we were going to build a set up and raffle it off in store. I created this 24x18x18 enclosure that includes some of my favorite plants, and some really cool pieces of wood I've been saving for a project such as this.Nelson’s are a subspecies of the king snake and are found in Mexico to the Pacific Coast. These colubrids can average 42 inches long and are nonvenomous. They make for a great beginners snake as long as you keep in mind that they can defecate when held if they are not used to being handled. Such a beautiful snake!

This is by far the most informative video I have found to build my first bioactive tank. I love all of the information you give & I will definitely be purchasing from your website! Thank you for all that you 😁 What are the benefits of putting the darkling beetles in the tank? Do they consume the poop & other stuff that sits on the surface? Would my milk snake attempt to eat them? My milksnake is

So I have a milk snake in this type of environment and he never comes up. Just burrows. Should I dig him up and grab him to hold him? I don’t want to bug him lol he’s shy.

Some prefer to be buried! that is just how they want to be lol You can wait till he is out or dig him out gently so as to not scare him :) Hope this helps! www.thebiodude.com/blogs/helpful-husbandry-faqs/tips-for-handling-your-reptiles

Do you need to regularly spray a tank like this? I’m going to get a king snake soon and I really want a rich luscious bioactive setup but I’m debating going full glass enclosure or trying to get the same look in a wooden/pvc tank.

He has a king snake setup video. If I remember correctly he uses a misting machine for the king snakes, 30 seconds in the morning, 30 seconds in the evening.

Would there be any drawbacks to putting a baby milk snake into its adult-size enclosure? I imagine not, since their natural environment would be as-far-as-they-can-slither, but I'd just like to double check. :)

@TheBioDudeJoshHalter 2 жыл бұрын

There can be too much space, even if its cluttered enough. its best to size they up as they grow.

Do you spray or water the plants periodically? If so, How much?

@TheBioDudeJoshHalter 3 жыл бұрын

its to whatever humidity requirements the animals need, typically basing the biome off their natural environment will give the plants the same humidity.

What do the beetles do?

@TheBioDudeJoshHalter Жыл бұрын

Could you please specify the specific type of beetles you are referring to? I want to make sure I provide an appropriate answer to your question. In the video we do mention the Isopods, which serve as a beneficial "clean up crew" within your enclosure.

I think so, I'll be using similar for mine soon. I might change the plants or even the clean-up crew to be more locale-specific, but overall I recon this'll work like butter on a biscuit.

hey hey! the extra decor is for enrichment, It is cluttered within reason as more empty space can cause stress issues in reptiles not feeling covered enough, the extra decor also adds more surface area to be explored that isnt just flat exposed glass.
