    Recreational decoration for 20L tank recommendations?
    Hello,

    I'm looking for some extra stuff to put into a 20L tank to provide recreation, security, and my own viewing pleasure.


    I've seen quite a few driftwood packages online; however, I have no clue what pieces of driftwood I would actually receive.


    Any recommendations for products that fit my bill? Preferable made out of materials that will last.

    Edit: I do not need hides, only recreational decorations to fill up some extra space. I already own 2 identical hides.


    Thank You.

    I use pebble stones, and lots of fake plants from Hobby Lobby or Michael's like fake grass (most of my snakes and lizard appear to enjoy it), ferns or anything big fluffy leafy type that provides coverage as well as a nice jungle look to it. I also add corkwood in there and I have a humid hide purchased from Amazon for about $15 or $19, I think it is called a snake cave or something. Looks cool and gecko uses it.

    Prefer to pick out my own driftwood & such...I'd hesitate to "order & let them pick" too. I like cork-bark also.

    I use natural branches donated from my trees, & install them diagonally so they intersect & lock together (I have strong climbers, rat snakes).

    You can also get some bamboo poles* (often sold for gardening supplies) & fasten them together with rope or even zip ties (or both: disguise the zip ties w/ rope for best
    appearance) to make a wide "ladder" that fits angled in the tank. Even heavy-bodied snakes like to climb on them, they can loop thru & hang on easily. *if you can't find
    bamboo, you can use wood too, either dowels or regular 1x1" wood, or even branches. For better long-term use, coat them with no-VOC water-proofing- easier to clean .

    Is there a specific product you recommend? I have a whole stack of oak branches I've sanded and baked for my corn snake, but I haven't treated them with anything yet.
