How to attach a plastic pipe in terrarium

Hello [emoji216] people!
I'm looking for ideas like one on 1:40 in the cool snake bites video below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pIz_rcuD9Q&t=519s

Any way to attach a plastic pipe in the terrarium so that I can remove it when I clean and not just glue it permanently?

Please, im loosing my head over this.
I can't find wide anough peace of plastic here to put the pipe in, like holder for curtains in the video. Any way I can do it myself or buy something online somewhere?
Thanks!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d48ebd9cb9.jpg

You can buy rod holders like that. The rod just sits in the channel. I actually have some in my closet. Any Home Depot or lowes would have it. And if you don't want glue the channels you can drill a hole and use a nut and bolt so you can take off the channel too if needed.

On google look up closet dowel holder. They all came up for me. Then buy a length of pic pipe to fit.

Here is an example of what you are looking for in rod holders.

You can also use PVC pipe for the rod which you could get at the same time. Just hot glue or silicone in the rod holders into place then cut the pvc to fit.

Just make sure to find plastic and not metal holders so they are lighter ;)

LOWES. $2.99 for plastic shower rod hangers is what i use. If you want Metal there like $5.99. They are in the isle with shelving and Metal closet hanger Kits.
I have a PVC pipe across mine with end caps so nothing wet/dirty can get inside.

Kinds Hard to see because i painted the PVC pipe Brown but they are 1.5" PVC with end caps. The holder is a Horse Shoe on one side to lift up and out.

Tip: Look online at Lowes or Home Depot depending on what store you are going to. Put in your store and then look up the item with your store's address entered. It should say how many are in stock and the isle and section they are in.

They're called a "rod bracket" which I'm not sure how to translate into Croatian well. Also called "drop-in flange" sometimes. Here's an example, if you need a photo to show to the person working at your hardware store.

Worst case, HR auction sites will have them, like so: http://www.njuskalo.hr/zavjese/zavje...oglas-18671722 (#2 and #4 are what are being used here).

She is in Croatia, so that probably won't help much.

Serves me right for thinking people live in the US :( I honestly did not see Croatia and would not have wrote that if I had.

Glad to be of some help, my GF is from MX and has family there and I heard the ordeal of how hard it was to get proper pet supplies in Mexico City like "special" break-away collars for their outdoor cat, etc. We take a surfeit of retailers for granted here in the US, for sure.
