Thanks... I was so sick of his old viv. It looked tacky as it was a converted wardrobe and the rest were shop built.

You must have used a massive screw to hold that branch up?

Oh yes!! 3 x 6 inch heavy duty wood screws.. I put in branches and logs this way for all my snakes, and all of them make good use of the extra room. Helps keep their muscles strong with the added exercise aswell.

Would you be able to do this in a PVC enclosure as well?
This looks a bit easier than buying closet rack holders from home depot, and cutting PVC pipe...

With PVC enclosure you would want run the wood from one side to the other. Then drill a small hole threw the side and end of the wood then put a screw in. Be sure to drill a hole first threw the side. If you just try putting a screw threw it it can crack the side. Do it on both ends this way it will support the weight.

It looks fab I made my viv but still working on the decor I have piece of wood from one side to the other. Where did you get the wood from.

Re: New viv set up for CA dwarf pastel boa (mario)
Iv done the same but it's screwed from both ends, great use, and I agree about the exercise for muscle tone.
