Posted - 17/08/2011 : 19:08:29 Thinking of adding a few bits and bobs to the vivs and came across these
http://www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk/trixie-shelter.html
Have anyone used these for their snakes?
And while i'm on here have any of you used these guards? I'm wondering whether they get hot themselves.

Oh, and have any of you purchased from this website before? http://www.hellsnakes-pets-aquatics.co.uk/index.asp
Thank you x. |

Yes it is on here somewhere :P Not sure how they would fare with adults though, I imagine them to be less stable for some reason. |

Posted - 18/08/2011 : 17:54:48 Have now ordered 3 as well as some plants, hides etc. Will have to get some more when the 2 little ones move into vivs. |

Posted - 18/08/2011 : 17:03:32 They are very stable, sturdy and all 3 of my adult corn love them, my biggest corn is 750g and he's fine on it. I also paid £6 for mine, so quite a bargain on there. |

Posted - 18/08/2011 : 11:30:30 I have the trixy shelter, snakes love it :p Infact, they use that more than any branches or other climby stuff! My 5ft+ corn who is overweight gets all on there fine and is study, not sure about the steppy ones you can get though, but the single table is great! Even stands up to mr.overactive kingy. There dead cheap on that site too :o think I paid like £6 for mine!
As for guards, I don't know but I have heard if the bulb IS touching the wire guard it can get hot enough to burn, if there's good room it will probably get warm but that's it.
And no I haven't ordered from hells snakes but it looks very much like aquarium stuff listed in the reptile section, which may not be big enough for adults like most aquarium stuff.

Posted - 18/08/2011 : 08:46:25 Thanks animalcrazy, its nice to hear that someone else uses them and gets on ok with them. I was thinking of trying one in with my adult corn. Are they very sturdy or could they easily tip? |

Posted - 17/08/2011 : 22:49:28 I have 3 of the shelters, one in each of my vivs, and they all love them. I have plants or a hide on top and they use it much of the day. I got mine in the rabbit section of the pet shop :) |

Posted - 17/08/2011 : 19:23:39 I like the look of them, gives some extra room up high without comprimising on floor area. |

Posted - 17/08/2011 : 19:18:23 I'm afraid I can't be any help as I don't have any of those items and have never heard of the website. If you do order that shelter though,I'll be interested to se what you think of it. |
