She'll only mind if she cooks them for breakfast accidentally.
I see nothing wrong with feeding Repti-links- the only question is whether your snake will eat them. I've never tried them on any of my snakes.

I'll try them for his first meal after a shed. He'll be extra hungry then.

Good idea- He probably won't mind at all, but you never know? I'm curious to see if he likes them.

Several of my snakes eagerly accept reptilinks. A couple of them look at me like I'm crazy when I offer them. The Ants will eat anything that doesn't eat them first.
Overall I like them a lot since they are a whole-prey item and they add some nice variety.

For anyone it may confuse- I'm sure that by "The Ants" you're referring to members of Antaresia- ie. Children's & Spotted pythons+ and NOT the kind of "ants" with many legs that ALSO eat "anything". And I cannot picture my Spotted "Ant" refusing them either. Only for the moment, since she's in shed.

Apart from the edges/sides, cardboard boxes used as platforms offer very little traction to a snake. Could stand improvements, IMO, but he obviously enjoyed it for a while anyway.

Fair point. I'll have to put that in the old pot and stew up a solution. Thanks.

You might try zip-tying some branches into a network that's attached to the "tree", &/or use some baskets as I've previously described, or use other stuff, tbd. You're plenty creative, you'll figure it out- many things can work. But smooth cardboard (like that shelf) has no traction. Also, something he can literally hide in might go a long way for his "sense of security" (like from birds of prey).

I know. It looks spare. You're probably disappointed. "Where's all that wonderful Homebody creativity?", you're probably wondering. Well, unfortunately, Wiggles's activity center needs to be broken down and put away after every use. As a fellow reptile keeper you can appreciate the beauty of my creation. You say it should be even bigger and more elaborate. I agree. My wife does not. She sees a tall pile of garbage. Sigh.
