Hi all,

I've got plenty of hides in my snake tanks. Where is a good place to order the plastic or silk plants from? They're kinda expensive at the pet store.

I get my fake plants from various dollar stores, or from 2nd hand stores like goodwill or deseret industries.

You might also want to try Hobby Lobby is you have one near you. They have a great selection and they almost always have some on sale for 50% off. Michaels also has fake plants, but they don't seem to have quite as good a selection as Hobby Lobby.

Thanks Jim, there's a Hobby Lobby not too far from my house. I'll check them out.

I took fake plants from hobby lobby got suction cups with metal hooks on them and bent the metal around the plants and made them hanging... I got the idea from a video from iSnake2010. I also just got a bushyish plants and set the short stem under the water bowl so it stays... It looks really nice... I can send you pictures if you want.... Good luck!

Thanks, I'd love to see pictures of how you did it.

I drilled a small hole through the stems of some hobby store plants and stuck the metal clip thingy from suction cups I bought on eBay through em and hung them up.

And here I was just laying the plastic plants on the floor of the tank

pet mountain also has alot of cheap habitat supplies and stuff but you will have to pay shipping unless you spend a certain amount. The plants start at like $3 with the suction cups attached. lol

How I did it? or just a pic of the tank after I was done?... Cause I don't think I have any step by step pictures this time
