    How to attach a plastic pipe in terrarium

    Hello 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!

    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.

    http://www.homedepot.com/p/Closet-Pr...7-25/202183194

    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.

    Just look for Shower curtain Rod holders. I know they must have them. Good luck.

    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.
