DIY enclosure accesories?

[WintertimeLea]

I'm about to upsize my setup and wanted to know what kinds of things everyone does to save money when adding things... foliage, rocks, climbing things etc
Any DIY hacks, tips, or tricks?
and hopefully they are easy to clean

Well depending on how large the enclosure is, I've used PVC pipes to make things for snakes to climb on.

Foliage the sky is the limit same with rocks. I wouldn't assume there's even a wrong idea.

I've also used PVC pipe to make "jungle gyms" for the snakes.

Craft stores like Michaels carry fake plants that are a lot cheaper than the pet store ones. Just check thoroughly for sharp points, exposed wire, enclosed loops that can trap your snake, etc.

Does anyone have photos handy? this tank is 50-55 gallons I believe. Boudreaux is only 2.5 ft long, i feel compelled to fill it with things to keep him cozy. Originally, I had envisioned a swamp motif given his name and my cajun roots. I'm no closer to that goal 6 months later lol

I went down to the local craft store and bought a few different kind of fake plants for two enclosures I have. They sell a vine looking plant that's rolled up into a circle. I unrolled it and its like 4 feet long. So I just folded it over a few times and put it in the back of my tank. Since I put it in my snakes love it. Before I had a hide and bowl, now with that vine in the back, they are so much happier. I will take a pic.
