Easy really, I would just like to hear how people fix climbing branches and the like so that they can not fall or roll onto their precious snakey friends. I've got a wooden Viv.

With the kings though, it's just normal to leave them loose as they will try to rip them down to use as weapons for viv-trashing anyway.

I have followed this advice almost to the letter. The only difference being that in my case I could get away with putting the cable ties around the branch, therefore not needing to drill any holes.
