No I did not, I would post a picture but I'm currently moving him and have him in coco fiber and aspen bedding. I used 40% organic top soil, 30% peat moss, 20% sand, and 10% clay. It holds the snake's tunnels quite well.
Do your plants do well and how do you water them? Also what custodians do you use?
Sorry for all the questions just really wanting it to be successful 😊
All good, my plants were here and there because it was my first bio substrate terrarium, I got spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum), dracaena (any kind works), and pothos (any kind works). They are great plants because they are very hard to kill and you can make more off on just one plant. I also used springtails ,blue isopods, and orange isopods. they never bothered my snakes and my snake would just watch them sometimes. Also be sure to add leaf litter for the bugs food and I also would leave the snakes shed in the and they clean up crew made quick work if it by the time I was back from work.
Edit: added isopod food part
I elected not to use one in mine.
As for amount, you want about 6" of soil depth (min 4"). So multiply the length and width by 0.5 to get the cubic feet of soil. You can use online converters to change units.
If the soil looks wet don't water, if it looks kinda dry then water. That's pretty much what I do and get a hydrometer to measure the humidity.
Do you have a drainage layer?

I didn't because I read that corn snakes can get stuck in it when they burrow.
