Default Arboreal Canopy Vivarium

Completely computer controlled indoor arboreal "greenhouse". Artificial branches are made by Ron Rundo of insertswork.com . Orchids love them. The plants are secured using ethyl cyanoacrylate (super glue gel). Ventilation, temperature, lighting, watering, all computer controlled. Warm side is kept in the high 80's through radiant heating, cool side is kept in the 70's during the day. The whole tank drops to 70 or below at night.

Very nice. I really love the concept. Is the glue strong enough to keep the snake from dislodging the orchids? Also I really love it because there is room for orchid full branches, and nothing is shading anything else out.

Looks great! Love the green tree python too I'm guessing that being a tropical species the humidity is ok for the snake?

Very cool. And I like the snake too. Perhaps you could try getting some moss to grow over the artificial branches to give it an even more natural look. What are the dimensions of the tank?
