By the way, I have a similar "snake toy" that I found already well-made (of natural but sealed wood) in a thrift store a couple years ago. It's not a "tree" but a vertically oriented shape of a tall house (for lack of better description) it's about 3' tall, with smoothly-cut 2" holes thru-out & a heavy base so it doesn't tip easily. I have NO idea what it was designed for, but the moment I saw it I thought "snake-climbing toy"! And for a bargain of $2. Some of my rat snakes enjoy it (others are too big, of course).
