Copperhead and his new setup

[Jungle Habitats Plastics]

Here is my li'l copperhead setup i made. Had to remove him from a neighbor about 30 days ago it was just a baby with a blazing green tail. Hes been pounding the mouse hoppers like mad and really likes his new digs .. Just have to cover it with grout now to finish off the rock backdrop. The floor is covered in sheet moss with dirt under it to give it texture and shape. i then stacked up some flat rocks to form the naturescape and added in a dogwood limb and some moss for that, I still have to put vents in the front when they come in but thats this jist of it i figure they look better in a natural setup then just a box with paper lol. Unfortunately i wont be keeping him until adult hood so ill have to think what will go in it after few weeks ... Im allergic to A/V so if i get bit .. likely no more cage pimp lol

hes in a 20H setup with a topper insert on it laid on the side.

here the lil fella is hiding under the rock ledge

heres a larger view

Cool Set-Up! Love how you even put leaves in there!

Hots Alan? I usually leave those copperheads where I find them!
Did you use great stuff foam for the background that you want to grout up? I have found that the grout has trouble sticking to the great stuff foam unless it is sanded or roughed up a bit. Make sure you aren't stingy with the sealer or the grout will come off. And get a BIG snake hook!

yeah i have been thinking that id have issues with the GS and grout lol ( had remodel company 10 or so years) done lots of grout jobs on tile. I may break out the air brush and paint it VS the grout
