Beautiful work Brad. I'm sure your vipers feel very much at home in those setups.

Thanks for the nice comments.
The snakes seem very happy. The bio-active substrate is working very well and the bonsai’s are doing well.
The tanks hold humidity very well and in some cases to well. I have to try and get the Vipera raddei tank a little more air-rated as I cant keep the bio-active substrate to moist otherwise the humidity is a bit to high.
The Hoya in the Trimeresurus purpureomaculatus is growing like mad but the snake keeps breaking off the flower stems.

Going to update one tank to have a couple Phalaenopsis orchids see how those do.

Not sure if the palm I put in the Bothriechis schlegelii tank will survive - I suppose I will have to wait and see.

Will do - gotta work on the mopane wood to make a place for them first but they should do well.
I will keep a photo log if anyone is interested.

This set up is amazing! Really nice. You have definitely set a benchmark, I always wanted a set up that is effective, but also nice to look at. Will definitely keep an eye on your photo log.
