Happy holidays from the boa trio! [IMG Motley; Blizzard; Hypo Blood]

I'm also scratching my head trying to figure out what that would have been originally, but that does sound absolutely perfect as a snake playground! Some of the best finds really do come from thrift and antique stores ...

I know, I love the "treasure hunting"... Most things cost so little, & most of our local thrifts support great local causes too (Humane Society animal shelter, our hospital, shelters for abused family members, mentally-challenged folks, etc.). And if I buy something that doesn't work out, I just donate it back. I donate all kinds of stuff already, it's like swapping with friends you never met...

As far as my "snake-climbing toy"- I can't think of any other creatures that could or would use it, nor anything it might have been made to display? I guess it shall remain a mystery- but someone put real time & skills into making it so well, & that alone is baffling. It wasn't just slapped together. The store manager/clerk had no idea what it was either, & seemed rather amused when I told him what I intended it for. That & happy to sell it to ANYONE, lol. There is someone local that makes small wood end tables & donates them, but those things at least "make sense".
