I decided to make my own climbing "branches".
I purchased a couple of 2 inch x 4 feet Hardwood Dowels from Home Depot @ $7 each. Measured and cut to go from one lower end corner to one upper end corner.
Now the fun part. I took a hatchet and hacked away, covering the dowel with splits and divots - nothing deep, just surface - for the snake to grip.
Next, I took a torch and gently burned some coloring into the dowel, making it look much more natural. It almost has a bamboo look to it, though that is not necessarily what I was going for.
Last step, cut a groove in a smaller Dowel, glue and nail as cross members for more stability for the snake.
I think she approves:
The area right under the light on the branch is around 100 degrees, with the floor under the light being 85. Cool side is around 76. She ate yesterday, so she was soaking up some heat for about 10 minutes before she slithered to the floor. Her options for thermoregulating just opened up a bit.
I have one in my 40 Gallon Cal King tank as well.
