ideas for 20-long decorations

I tried regular plastic plants (either zoo med or exoterra - I can't remember which) and while they did not melt, they did give off a 'warm plastic' smell. I don't know if this would harm or irritate a snake, but I figured that if it was that strong to me, it must be more intense to a snake. I ended up going with the 'national geographic' brand silk plants. They have no smell at all. Just make sure you rinse them thoroughly in HOT water - they will bleed dye when you first get them wet, and if they are the kind with metal stems, check to make sure none of the metal tips are exposed.

If you choose to get silk flowers from a craft store, just make sure that they are not held together in such a way that the snake could get stuck and that they don't have glitter or artificial scent either. Some of the long strands of fake ivy for instance are held together in plastic chains and depending on size, your snake could get stuck through one of the loops.

I paint the back and sides with black paint on the outside of tank, it looks nice and dies make my snakes feel more secure. .
