Re: Made a snake tree!
Great invention ! I will put that on my list to do one day.
It's a great way to get them out of their enclosure to get some extra exercise !

Love the "trees" you made for your (obviously happy!) snakes.
I've been doing something similar for a while, with a heavy metal stand: it's very stable & I removed the vertical pole & replaced it with a natural tree branch
that has a number of side branches (trimmed to a reasonable length for in my living room). The exercise is good for our snakes, & we don't have to be so 'hands-
on', just vigilant (& not forgetful).

Okay so the BP stays on the tree and seems to really enjoy it. He was very active all through the evening TV watching. Noodle the Ratsnake, however, pretty much hid by pressing herself up against the branches, then figured out how to slide down it even though it's very smooth. She wrapped around the pole multiple times like a bracelet, and slowly slid down in a very controlled fashion. I actually thought that was very smart! So I guess the BP has a new toy and Noodle will just use me as her tree.

Yes, my rat snakes don't stay put for long either. They enjoy the outings, but they'd make good firefighters (sliding down the pole)...

Re: Made a snake tree!
Final version! The BP was kinda freaking out with no cover ...this is now perfect with the leaves. He's relaxed and loves it. Did anyone else make one to share since I started this thread?

Re: Made a snake tree!
It looks awesome with the leaves, just like a proper tree!! I won’t be able to make one for months. I’m in the process of moving, so eventually I’ll make one when I get settled. I’ll be sure to share when I do

Great job on the snake tree! With the leaves added for cover, it's a little less available for part-time duty for coats & hats, but oh well...snakes first!
By the way, I almost bought a huge fake tree that was in a thrift store....don't forget to check out your local thrifts, or even leave word that you're looking for one.
The one I saw just needed an outdoor hosing off & a hot day for drying...it was dusty & you can imagine someone trying to dust it, lol...I'm sure that's why it was
donated.

Yes those fake plants are very hard to clean! I wanted to try the coat rack idea because the poll is very smooth and hard to escape off of, or at least I thought so until Noodle proved me wrong
