Awesome fun idea! I can't tell from the picture; do you keep water in the mote?

For the horde, maybe a handful or two of those plastic gems children play with. For the princess, some kind of charm off a bracelet or pencil decorator or cell phone chain perhaps? Next time you are at a Disney establishment lol. Or next time you are in a tourist trap area (I can think of a dozen places in CA, but I have no idea what they'd have in ND), check cutesy curio shops and swapmeets. Super Mario princess!

Perhaps a little sign post or banner in or outside the viv saying "beware of dragon" or the classic "here thar be dragons". Or, as TV tropes says, that in Latin, because everything is better in Latin. Or a fantasy style map (like in The Hobbit) with the phrase.

Shoot I might just have to steal this idea for my next next snake lol. I'd have to decide among a Harry Potter basilisk, or Smaug from The Hobbit, or a Chronicles of Narnia theme, or oooo Aladin cobra. I think my childhood favorites have a common theme here...

omg I have a sunkissed named Naigini! She will be getting the HP look. I have looked at charms for the princess and couldn't find anything but I didn't think of cell phone chains! And yes, everything is better in Latin. I will definitely have to do the sign. I had water in the mote but it got to be a pain because I had to clean it every other day because Jasper would defile it.

I also want to do something different with the background but I am not sure what. I hate to take out the one I have because Jasper loves it.

MC Escher theme!

I think it would be cool to do an Escher theme (or at least photo shoot at some point), maybe for a solid red snake since there would already be so much busyness in the decor.

Tessellations (Metamorphosis, particularly the next to last row) for the background:

Two of these three images for the sidesgrounds:

A mobius strip prop (it would be awesome to actually get a photo of a snake stretched out along a mobius strip, tail to nose)

Something like the Belvedere for climbing. For hides, any sort of geometric, pyramid shape to size with a door. For foliage cover, any number of bizarre alien like plants would work. It would be challenging to do tastefully, not ridiculously garish.

Do a hillbilly one, with a moon shine jug, little shack cabin and an outhouse hide. Now if can just get the little hat and beard to stay on the snake.

I want to do an electronic futuristic themed one... maybe put some old hard drives and circuit boards in there...

I'm still brainstorming, but I think it would be neat.
