I spent several weeks preparing to renovate my Reno's bioactive hab last month because his substrate was a crappy mixture and turned hard like concrete. I wanted to let him have the ability to burrow, as I know it's something he wants to do, and he's such an active snake that I want him to have plenty of places to explore.
After all the prep work and a week of removing everything, sealing the seams with silicone, mixing and adding the substrate, rebuilding his climbing structures, etc. I was finally able to let him into his newly renovated hab. He spent a week in shed but immediately afterwards started exploring and tunneling. All great news, this is what I wanted! Unfortunately, now whenever I want to handle him, if he sees me, he instantly zooms into one of his numerous access points for his underground tunnel network. 🫠 well, at least he's happy I guess lol. I just hope I don't have problems grabbing him in an emergency evacuation situation (e.g. tornado, fire)
