Happy Frog Friday! Turn up the volume to hear native southern leopard frogs calling at Batsto Lake in Wharton State Forest in the New Jersey Pinelands, as recorded earlier this week. What frogs species are you hearing in your neck of the woods this week? 🐸

Picture containing 3 baby garter snakes around a reclangular clear glass dish. The ground has various leaf litter. The top left corner has a black half globe hide with 2 snakes peaking out looking at the camera. The snake to the left is titled Soba and the snake on the Right is titled Ramen. On the right there is one more snake coming into frame looking straight ahead/to the leaft side of the image. The snake is slightly rested on the rim of the glass dish.
A baby garter snake looking at the camera perched on the second leaf stem up from the ground. The plant is a pothos with 5 leaflets visible. The ground is leaf litter with a black rectangular hide and a branch blocking the bottom right of the image.
A baby garter snake with its mouth full of a small peice of tilapia. The garter snake is in a filled blue bucket contents are not visible however a plant leaf is taking up the top right corner and the bucket has soil.
Meet the new babies! Ramen, Soba, and Udon. They live in a 55galone enclosure and use every inch of it.
I do have some wonderful updates on Linguinis enclosure but I would like to finish adding the new branches first!

A boa constrictor basking on top of a fake rock cave. In the background, there is a large leafed plant, and the silver walls of the grow tent enclosure.
Got a new hide for the Linguini and they seem to like it so far.

2 tiny baby isopods, pale pink in color crawling on soil in a small glass enclosure.
Found 4 baby isopods that have much lighter coloration than the rest of my papyas. I separated them into their own little enclosure and can't wait to see what they look like as adults.

Freshly shed and on the move.
Linguini went into blue a little over a week ago and has finally shed. They have been extremely active this morning and I definitely need to go get their rat.

And I am ready for them to grow! This greenhouse expands to 8ft×4ft×6ft total. It's just this size mostly bc don't have space atm and so I can get use to handling a big enclosure. Linguini is my first snake, so I didn't want to get overwhelmed and not be able to keep up with clean up.
All good! I appreciate it. I am working on getting a new lamp that has a cage, after that Ill re arange the branches. I just dont want him reaching it rn. I'll keep an eye out for some better hides. Is there anything in particular to stay away from?

An image of a boa constrictor basking on a redish paver. Infront, there is a fern blocking some view. In the background and edges, there is dirt and another plant.
They snoozing.
I love how this picture turned out it's just such a vibe.

A wide shot photo of an enclosure. The walls are silver greenhouse material. On the ground, there is dirt, leaf litter, moss, and twigs covwring any open space. Closest to the viewer on the ground in the right corner is a water bowl. To the left is a large branch that is angled up and rests on the back right corner with other branches supporting it. In the left front corner, there is a large green fern (I forgot the species). Next to the left wall, there is a cement paver with a ceramic half log on top. Both are under a large ish black heat lamp. The left back corner has a large 2 leafed alocsia. There is a small pothos plant next to it. Next to the middle far wall, there is a portion of drift wood over a different water bowl. This water bowl has moss in it. In the back right corner starting on the ground, there is a wood half log with various plants around the biggest being a pothos with curvy leaf edges (ring of fire pothos). Above the various ferns and plants is 3 branches/sticks arranged in a mostly vertical direction.
Same as previous image only now the area under the paver is visible and the boa constrictor is now laying partially on the ceramic half log.
A closer image of the Boa Constrictor laying on the half log.
Ok I want some imput/ideas on how I can improve the enclosure for my Boa Constrictor, Linguini. They are my first snake, and just upgraded to this. They are about 4.5ft long last i measured. The space is 4ft×4ft× 5 or 6ft in a grow tent.
(Sorry for repost, fixed things)

An pinkish isopod peaking out from under a brown leaf on top of soil.
On the left is a pinkish isopod and on the right is a slice of orange carrot slightly larger than the Isopod, both are surrounded by moss.
Enjoy some of my low quality photos of my papaya colony.
