For that reason, please be VERY cautious about using it as a hide for snakes. Some decor items made for aquarium use have very sharp unfinished edges or projections inside, because apparently they cause no issues for swimming fish, but when your snake crams himself inside, he's going to get cut up. Some of these items also have holes that a snake can get stuck in, & it would be very difficult & dangerous for the snake if you had to cut your snake free. Please check all decor carefully, & don't use if it's unsafe for snakes, no matter how cool you think something looks. I once came home with a castle-type decoration from a thrift store, with the intent of using it for a snake- UNTIL I found the safety issues inside. I donated it back- labeled for fish only.![]()
