I am so proud of my hubby, he has just made his first vivarium! Which now houses my Royal Python, so now he has moved into his new pad the corns have been on the move as well, Wizard is about 2 and half foot maybe closer to 3ft now and needed to move to a bigger viv, Epi is a little shorter but both had out grown there Faun's so now they both have proper viv's.
Here are some piccy's of them eploring their new homes, still need some more decorations, but run out of penny's but i am sure they wont mind waiting till the end of the month when i get paid, they both have heat, water and a hide, just in a bigger space now.

Can I just ask you how did you treat your branches and retain the lichen on them?

Was told by the breeder that i got my corns off that if i used oak, they just needed a good blast off with water and then dried, but i fear i have been misinformed as someone else has asked the same question over on the python site.
I know usually you would bleach and bake them, but i was assured it was ok to use Oak without doing this.
Now i am not so sure, think i may be taking it out striping it and bleaching it

I would strip the bark completely, and then sand smooth and then bake in the oven at 100 degrees for an hour (depends on size, thickness etc), all the nooks and crannies in bark could be harbouring all sorts of nasties. Even lichen is a type of fungus/plant and will spread onto any surfaces.
