For my kingsnake's viv I used a water bowl and a rock hide from the pet shop. The hide on the left is a plastic flower pot that I cut in half. I had a branch the curved nicely around it. Since the flower pot was too open my snake didn't like it. So I put some fake vines I got from the dollar store around the branch and now he loves it! I put some pink flower in behind the pot just to take up the space in that corner.

All the rest of the flowers and vines are from the dollar store.

Since my king loves to submerge in his water dish I did get him a huge bowl but he doesn't like it. I took it out and gave him the smaller one back. He just has to be difficult!

you should be good then- provided that the tree has not been sprayed with pesticides.

be sure that whatever you get for outside branches, you need to scrub the outside, and you can either : soak in a bleach solution, or : bake in the oven at 250-300 degrees for 30mins ( i prefer the last, but if you have branches that are too big, the first can be used in the bath tub over night)

I've got a bottle of vetaclean reptile disinfectant that I was told I could use to disinfect tree branches. What do you think?

Cool what is that blue stuff in the back of that one tank? Gift wrap? It's pretty though.

Last but not least is my little Sigyn's tank. I have bought her sever different hides and she refused to sleep in them all. Even sleeping out in the middle of the tank or under the floral. So one day I decided to cut an empty tissue box in half and use that. She made a bee line for one and has loved them ever since. Only down side is I have to change them out if she poops on one.

Aw it's really neat though. I gave myself an idea looking at it. I think I'll buy me some metallic gift wrap and use for a background

I should correct myself. There is a tiny tiny hold in the bottom of the tree. But there is a rather big one on the end of a branch. I would not use that tree for a baby snake. As a baby may be able to squeeze into it.

Awesome! I will defiantly try to get new pictures up. Since I redone their homes.

WingedSweetheart, what is the pink flower behind the skull in your first post?
