'snake pit'

[Peckoltia]

G'day

My new house is starting to get underway, and am currently tossing up a dew ideas.

I currently have plans for a large in the wall type fish tank.

I was considering adding a "snake pit" in what will essentialy be my reptile/fish room.

I got the idea from the perth zoo. They have a glass walled enclosure that you can walk around and view from all sides and above. It has blue tongue species and a few dragons etc.

I was thinking about doing something similar with large glass viewing panels that would come up a little past wasit height. Put a layer of red earth sand and some large pieces of slate and wood and it'd be great. Provide lighting/heat from the top aswell as built in heat chords under some hotspots.

and have a large group of stimmis in their with maybe a couple larger centrallion blue tongues for a bit of movement?

Has anyone done something like this indoors? I know people have similar outdoor setup. Would love to hear other peoples views and opinions.

it sounds interesting but im not sure how it would work or exactly what your trying to do. could you do a rough sketch on paint or something. how can view stuff from above? how would stuff get up there?

I'd be afraid they'd get out. Sounds like a sweet idea though.
