Hi guys I think Pythonic is getting bored of her bedroom now, so what live plants if any could I place in a viv, and what other thing other than branches can add to making her enjoy her room and become more activity, she is so acitive, only when i seem to be around though. |

I like the grass growing one, thats cool.
Just a thought, if you don't already; use a nice thick layer of substrate (I find aspen best) in the viv. My corns love to hide and burrow through that!
It also keeps 'em busy as when you clean them out they'll have to build their tunnels all over again! Lost count the number of times I looked in the viv and thought the snake's escaped, where in fact she's under a load of aspen!
Or try the grass, I've not come across that before. |

HannahB's suggestion is a good one.
All you need to do is change things around occasionally. Move her hides around, use different ones...put in kitchen roll tubes or cardboard boxes...different logs/branches (as long as you make sure they are clean and free of parasites)....nice depth of substrate so she can burrow...fake plants are great and you can buy vines to go in viv as well.
If you do think about giving her some fun with real plants checkout this topic and mainly Kehhlyr's suggestion in it - http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8113
She may seem bored to you, but remember that you are putting human emotions on to a snake and she probably isnt bothered too much.

fake plants! so much easier to look after and cheaper in the long run
if you think shes bored mix it all up a bit.. i do it for my king - every 6weeks he gets a new layout in his viv  |

I would contemplate getting some other fake plants rather than real ones,maybe try changing things around.
Live plants canhave some problems such as introducing mitesand things. I'd wait for some of the other members to come along and see what they say. |
