He's lived in a variety of arrangements and most recently in a custom built plywood setup. Although I enjoyed it initially, I've slowly become disenfranchised with it. It still served him well, but it could be better. So I decided to finally give his bioactive vivarium a proper redesign.

It's so refreshing to see a video that emphasizes the long-term care and husbandry of an animal instead of collecting every morph and keeping them in shoe boxes.

"Sure, it's exciting to occasionally get new animals, but I think it's even more rewarding to give the animals I have the best conditions possible." -Tanner
The most veracious statement in all of Reptile Hobby.

Love this design! A tip for the epoxy: the brand Hxtal is non-yellowing, it's what we use in conservation to mimic glass and ceramic when restoring objects, so has been tested up to 100 years with no discolouration 👍

You have been growing as an artist and a conscientious animal keeper. We are so lucky to get to go along with your journey!

Love seeing your long-term care videos c: All I could think after seeing the rocky spaces on the back wall was "what a great idea for some naturalistic enrichment!" I know that animal enrichment is really important, so encouraging those climbing behaviors even in a "ground-dwelling" species really brings out the idea that... there's a lot of elevation to the ground, too! I bet you have fun watching him utilize that new back wall, and it's gotta be fulfilling to see.

I am living for the dramatic reenactment scenes 🤣
Love your sense of humor and happy you and Whodini were reunited ❤
Edit: Oops, I misspelled his name

I love it and no one deserves a new, awesome enclosure than our boy, Dean! I love that you built out the background & sides giving him a two-story home! He's going to love scratching his itches & will probably produce some beautiful sheds. Your talent and love for your animals is always inspiring & I love watching you turn nothing into a realistic slice of nature! 💚🪱💚

Whodini is such a beautiful snake. What a journey he’s had.

Beautiful. I did a habitat decades ago for my Anole Lizards l rescued from a bare newspaper bottomed tank in the local pet shop.
They went from a sickly grey to jewelled green (m) or rich brown and cream (f) and the 2 males did incredible displays to each other.....they flash colour like cuttlefish! I used 'fig' tree plants and compost for the forest bit and a sandy area with the pond and basking light. I gave them flat rocks too and branches. I donated them to Poole Aquarium in Dorset UK when l moved and they were amazed at the habitat. 5ft long 2ft wide 2ft tall glass tank. Plants had grown a natural canopy across the top.
One group 1 male 2 female had the best night place the other male one female nearby. The males didnt fight just displayed like tiny dinosaurs. I fed live Crickets mealworms etc. Loved those little Lizards.

I love seeing the progression of your skills and how you continuously improve the quality of your animals lives! This build is stunning. Personally, I think the yellowing of the water bowl adds to the natural look, it almost makes it look like algae has taken advantage of the pooling area

I think changing the homes we house our pets in, are good for their own mental health, if that makes sense. It's like getting a whole new fish room, and have a new arrangement to live in every several years. It can only be good for mental stimulation for the animal. Great job, Tanner!

The dramatic reenactments are SO GOOD, I needed that laugh today!
Snakes escaping is such a mood, the ridiculous ways my ball python(!) managed to force open even the smallest cracks to get out or get stuck in them.. it was a neverending source of anxiety until I built him a custom tank

I gotta say, this was definitely one of those "stay with me till the end" videos, but you pulled it off as always! I love the depth it gave the enclosure, and it was nice to see Dean get a house reno. It's refreshing to see the progression of how the bioactive held up, with the switching of plants and such. This gives me some relief about some plants not working in my bioactives. It's trial and error with what plants mesh with the ecosystem you create.
PS. I actually really like the green hue the epoxy has in the bowl! Makes it look like a natural water source.

There's always room for improvement! I thought the last build looked great but, WOW! So cool how you went vertical to really maximize his space and to create the micro climates!

Faux rocks for the win! Not only is this a heck of an upgrade for a very cool customer, this very conveniently helped me solve a design problem I've been wrestling with. Respect and thanks!

this guy is god mode of animal care...i swear, what a blessing it must be to come into this world as a frog or snake that is owned by this guy.

This upgrade really is night and day step up from the last one. I love the vertical surface area that he can explore. Seems much more stimulating for him than everything just being flat. Looks like a rocky hillside to me. Good video and update on him.

Man, he's got it all, carpentry, good taste in design, and plans out ahead to prevent problems! You're a natural!

This setup looks amazing. I hope that Whodini loves it as much as I loved watching you build it.
Til next time SerpaDesign, aaaaaand peace.

Crazy to think it’s already been 3 years since I did the original bioactive kingsnake setup. It’s even more crazy to think I’ve had Whodini for 15 years! It’s been a great time thus far, and he’s been a joy to have, except for that time he escaped… Lol! I guess it’s all part of the story, though. I had a lot of fun making this one, and I love how his new setup turned out. What do you think? Let me know, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
