i have brought 2 branchs and both times they have gone green and i instantly got rid so does anyone have any other ideas?
 
I too am curious as to what you mean.. If you mean mold, your humidity is way too high.
As for good climbing, just found some folks on a Facebook group here that use deer and elk antlers
 
Oh! Deer antlers! I use those in a couple of mine (just sheds that I have picked up around the property) and the corns LOVE them.

Antlers...what a cool idea! That would look great in a viv. What is the facebook page? Very interested in that idea. Thanks!
 
For one of my ATBs I use a deer antler and just some random branches that I found outside that have been boiled and baked, for my cresteds I use the boiled/baked branches, and for my younger carpets I just make an X out of a wooden dowel
 
it was a kind of mould but not cause of humidity i think they were just a bad buy but the girls are ok :) i cleaned it all out and have given up with branches
 
I just bought some flexible vines from the pet store. You can buy individual packages of various sizes. Or some stores have big rolls of it that you can have cut to whatever length you want. I tend to get a long piece of each size and twist them all together. Then I bought some fake vines from the dollar tree and wrapped them all around the vines. Bend the vines in different shapes and prop up inside the viv. Only one of my snakes would climb on them though. Even as a tiny worm she was always in those vines and would sleep up there. My other snakes on the other hand were bottom dwellers.

Everyone is in a rack now. So I have to use my creativity and have fun decorating my frog tanks now lol. Though I still try to make each bin in the snake rack a little interesting.
 
thank you so much wingedSweetheart! i didnt think of that! LOL yeah mia the oldest is very active and she is always up the walls and trying to move along the celling in her viv loves climbing so that will be brilliant :D xxx
 
thank you so much once again i just thought of a awesome idea and it works so we have a happy snake now :D i got 2 long wrapping paper roles and cut out a little gap in the bottom and nere the top and wedged them in the back corners :) will get some rope soon to join them together but so far so good :D xxx
 
Sylvara has always thought she was an "arboreal" snake. :laugh:

Post some pictures once you get some stuff for your little one to climb on. It's fun having a corn that will climb. I have 7 snakes total now and she is still the only one that will climb and likes to hang out in high places.

Is that a snow? My son just bought one today. Little guy....17 grams. :)
 
aww that is adorable :D i will do as i said atm she has rolls in both back corners with holes in :) gonna try find something to attach to that so she has a upstairs :) but i will deffo get some pics up soon :D also your snake is so beautiful :D xx
 
the wooden ladders they put in bird cages work GREAT for climbing in a snake cage. They are only a few bucks at the pet store
 
I know people who use the artificial branches and logs that are made from resin and stuff which work well and let them be cleaned much easier.

Personally i use the plastic cord stuff that i tie up tightly to act as vines - works wonders, is very cheap and easily replaceable. I also put it through toilet roll tubes and string them up to make 'hammocks' which they adore. I also buy the cheap bamboo garden canes and fix them up to be climbed on :)
 
To help attach stuff in the viv if it can't simply be propped up, you can buy some rubber suction cups with hooks on them. I found some with rubbery hooks because I worried the metal ones might hurt the snake. I think used clear rubber bands to tie the vines or what ever to the suction cups. Only down side was my bigger snakes were able to pop the suction cups off the glass when they would push against the vines.
