    I recommend building an Arboreal enclosure, retics can be semi-arboreal or mostly-arboreal.



    My retic spends about 75% of her time in her trees.

    That is both awesome, and scary to imagine being a local and seeing that coming down out of the trees in the wild lol. Would a 6" PVC Pipe Jungle gym be able to support the weight if cemented?

    Thinking this, coated brown to be semi treeish and blend in with greenery and of course made in a jungle gym type manner.

    6" can have a truck drive over it. Sleeved 2" would work, an even smaller. Sleeve the PVC/CPVC/Black pipe over metal gas pipe, copper pipe, wood dowels or the like. Figure what the max weight of your snake could be an add 50 pounds. Then you should be good.

    I sleeve the PVC because it's easier to clean. I have had metal play ladders in the past but waste can cause rust before you see it.


    Good luck!
