After reading a post by "codge" about securing your cables in a glass vivarium , it got me thinking . There are big no no's on cellotape , Duct tape , anything with a sticky surface , including sticky pads . Once your snake gets stuck to any of these it is a long slow and possibly painful process to remove , which could include your snake losing scales . Okay , my solution was to use suction cups , these cups can be found on most fake plastic plants for your vivarium , especially those that hang , larger varieties have more than one so there's a spare right there . These cups have a ready made hole where the plant was attached Here is a step by step guide in picture form . First your plant and suction cup .

[IMG]http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o258/Nodders_Album/Misc/Sucton3.jpg[/IMG] Finally , stuck to the glass . [IMG]http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o258/Nodders_Album/Misc/Suction4.jpg[/IMG] The last pic is showing an Hairdryer 3 core cable with plug dangling , that's a fair bit of weight , yours will have nowhere near that weight . And as of this moment it is still secured to the glass , so it is very strong . Also I used garden ties in the picture , you could use anything , string , garden twine etc , up to you . Hope this helps . [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
