Yep. Who else would have to provide for your snakes?! I've heard of and know people who build rooms for their snake or snakes. Not just snakes in cages in a room but the room is the cage. To each his own! Hehe. Ultimately it is the owners responsibility for anything they chose to do. Like its my responsibility to house, care for, and enjoy my collection. The biggest inconvienence is the stink of the rat colony in full force! But I know what the rats eat and have piece of mine knowing my snakes eat good. Friends snakes love em too. Its good to have feeders for free and make enough $ to make it worth the time and stink!

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.

SnakeyJay · 09-23-12, 07:34 AM

From a tree in a friends garden... Cleaned it up and steamed it, works a treat
