i would go to an electrical wholesaler and ask for a metal cable strap. its brilliant every 10mm its got a hole to put a screw thru. u cut it how long you want it and file its ends so its not sharpe.

the thing with silicone is the viv has to be snakeless for 48 hours because of the fumes x

Right guys. i got hold of some silicone to sort it out. thanks for the advise ill keep it in mind for the future .

Hotglue, holds well and can be removed without a mark when you want to.
Sticky things are a total nono in snake vivs, they get stuck on even very low tack stuff and it can cause some serious damage. I think a member here has a snow corn who got stuck on tape at her previous owners, and now has a large twist in her neck.

I use a glue gun, you should never use tape inside the viv, it can be very harmful to your snake. I bought clear aquarium tubeing for my led strips and glue gunned the tube instead of the lights.

clear silicone should do the job perfectly?
