I've read it is a good idea to shuffle things around in snakes faun/viv from time to time to give extra stimulation, for them to explore and investigate etc etc, do any of you guys do this?

I do some shuffling between the vivs, normally the climbing stuff not the hides though as some hides would be too big for some snakes and versa! I recently cleaned my snakes out and since Ozzy is out of quarenteen I put his climbing rock in Venoms viv, Venom had a right good smell lol! And Ozzy got Chars rat table and he loved sniffing it so much! I also find sparying the hides and leaves with diecenfant makes them go round all sniffy and exploring XD

I hide tunnels of half cardboard tubes under the substrate (Spots favourite) or throw in toilet rolls every now and again, There isn't a vast amount of shuffling I can do but I move the vines so they fall a different way or turn the hides or create secret entrances and just generally give them stuff to explore. Well I do this for the corn and Boa, the Royal couldn't care so long as he is hidden.

Yup, everytime I clean them out each week or spot clean I just swap their hides around, move the plants a bit and chuck in new stuff.

Have to say when I saw the title I thought this was a rude spam thread!

Yup, I add things in, take stuff away or just have a general shuffle in there.
Once I've done that there's the chance I've left new escape routes as well, so lots more exploring to do again.

Can never be a bad thing, I personally shuffle a bit every time I clean the fauns out :)
