    For the pet grade plants I drill a small hole and push the wire through and they hang. I haven't figured out how to make anything stationary on the cage floor. I don't think I would want to. When I had glass tank I used the suction cup provided with the plants but the snake would eventually tear them down. Since I was given this snake as an adult I have no clue how small animals affect the decor, but the big ones rearrange their stuff pretty easily.

    They will work. They just have alot of vertical room. By putting a good bit of moss in them it will make it feel smaller, like it has a lower ceiling.


    When it comes to fake plants you can always try the hobby stores (Michaels, HobbyLobby, etc.) You can get fake plants cheap. Also check out the suction cups to hang some.

    Make sure to get plants that will be easily cleaned and rinsed off.

    I saw your Wal-Mart bag. Most that have a hobby section will have some fake plants too.

    That looks great! You probably want to cut a bigger entry hole in your hides. I use flower pots too, but mine are clay. My snakes love them. They create a nice hot spot too. You just have to break a "door" into it.

    I disagree SnakeGuy.

    The door only needs to be large enough for the snake to enter and exit. With an entrance as large as yours in the second pic you take away the security of the hide.

    Shelby, when you are at the hobby store many plants are big and thick. Just remember you can get more bang for your buck by getting them and cutting them up to use it all over your tank.
