Question for you 'natural' looking set up guys.

For example, if you found a piece such as that you could easily make it work. You can get 2 beautiful pieces of slate and drill through it. On the left you have only one attachment point, the part that touches the ground. On the right you would need a larger piece of slate and drill 2 holes and attach it to the 2 legs of the wood.

That would make a custom piece that would be quite very beautiful for a snake. It would be long and sturdy, too! Plus the slate adds to the natural look and helps the snake shed as well






This piece (shown in a fish tank) you could also attach to 2 pieces of slate. On the left you would need a larger piece and drill 3 holes to attach to the 3 legs and on the right you would need just one hole in a piece of slate. Between the 2 flat rocks it would be stable and look absolutely amazing in a snake cage! So much "more" then just perches, I think.

Yeah, we'll see. That seems like a lot of work lol. The snakes might just have suffer and use a shelf and maybe a perch haha. Thanks though

Whaaat???

You put together AP cages which takes a lot more work and trouble !!! LOL

You can get nice pieces of slate everywhere. You were going to get drift wood. All you have to do is mark where you need holes in the slate, a masonry bit and then drill steady and straight (helps if someone can pour a bit of water as you go). Then just pre drill some holes into the driftwood, put screws in, presto !!

Yes, gotta find nice wood and a piece or 2 of slate, and a bit of work, but what you get is ART !!! Instead of a measly boring shelf and perch!

Well i was just going to buy driftwood from either a bird store or a pet store. I can get slate tiles from the floor store as i got a few for my beardie a while ago. I dont know, we'll see what happens lol.

I have faith in you.

Now make it happen! LOL

If you find the right wood pieces, this could turn out KILLER !!!

The only sort of tricky part is drilling through slate. Just slow and steady and straight down, no angles. Plus someone pouring water as you go to cool it. Gotta be a masonry bit. But once you done that a couple of times its a piece of cake, too !

I think I will mount the piece I have that way too (for the gecko), I like that it stabilizes it and keeps it in the position I like.

If you want really cool long pieces of driftwood, try craigslist, too. Petstores ask crazy prices and usually their pieces are pitifully small.

Landscaping places often sell bigger pieces of Driftwood as well.

Petstores will be the most expensive place to buy that from..
