View Full Version : Hiding Wires?

In most of my cages there's usually a clutter of wires that I leave cluttered around. I try to bury them but, unsurprisingly, they get unburied pretty quickly. How do you guys go about hiding them? They're pretty ugly to look at.
Dont have much to offer. I burry a humidity wire and wrap the probe around a fake plant i have. Beyond that you can maybe screw in some hooks to keep wires in place. Or have the wires enter from below and come up through the substrate.

I secure them to a rock :) , then bury the rock.
Clear, flexible plastic tubing. Cut a slit down the length of one side, open it up and bundle the wires. Tie wrap around it to keep it closed if necessary. It'll stay closed and neaten things up quite nicely. This works for probe placement quite well too.

Run the wires to the rear of and behind your cage, then stick up a backdrop. Even with careful placement (I like to hide probes behind branches or in fake plants) and burying in substrate you'll still see a little bit of wire leading out of the cage, but the outside won't look like a hydra. A nice backdrop can also take a cage from "Meh" to "Wow!" in just a few minutes.

I drill a hole in the side of the enclosure as close to where I need whatever the wire is attached to, and thread it through that. No wire clutter.
If it's glass, you probably won't be able to do this then.
