I'm just wondering if anybody has used these vines for corn snakes, I bought some but they seem a bit abrasive.
Do you think they would be ok or should I not bother putting them in the Viv.......Charlie loves to climb.
Cheers

Doh, never thought of him slipping off if smooth, such a daft question when I think of it (newbies eh).
Thanks ladies and gents I'll get them put in for him.
(just didn't want him to scratch his little tummy :-P ) LOL |

They are absolutly fine, as I have used them for mine, also may help them when they shed to break free through their skin.
Have a look at the pic for my set up. My vine was to long so after beinding it, I wrapped the cut off piece around it, to give t a better look, and then just attached it to the side of the viv with a cable clip (which I soon be covering with a fake plant)

Edit - Centricmalteser - I don't want to tell you anything that you may already know but the snake can defiantly climb the wires on the back right, so if any of the wire holes are a bit big you may need to fill them in. |

Yeh the wire holes are filled with geocel aquarium sealant, which once dried is friendly to all animals, and dont cause problems, i also use it as a "glue" to stick the heat mat down
but thanks anyway, cos im sure its easy to forget a small thing like that lol

as i have stated in other messages, viv isnt too big,
she is 1 and half foot long,
and that picture was taken prior to me filling it out with more hides and artifical plants etc,
she is always out and exploring and certainly doesnt strike when i go in to pick up to handle, and she doesnt seem nervous either
she is in a strike position just there, as i just put her back in from her feed

I'm going to get some of these for my exoterra viv. I think the corn in there will like them as he likes to climb up the fake plants at the back |

You crack on an ignore the years of experience here telling you important things.
Not many here will have time for that, me included.
We don't advise people of things that are pointless and irrelevant.
It's funny though, absolutely none of my snakes ever get into a strike position when I put them back, even my downright nasty ones.
However, I don't keep them in vivs too big for them. |

you dont need to get sarcastic or nasty,
im sure there is a decent percentage of people that ignore others advise, and their snakes go on to lead healthy lives
if you dont want to tolerate it, then dont reply
i have no started neither done anything wrong, and simply registered on this forum to chat to other like minded persons
however, judging but how you write, you not one of these persons!

Firstly, CM, don't label yourself as someone who "Ignores" advice, its not a good thing and people arn't going to appreciate it when you then ask a question as, and this is a gentle reminder, you're not very experienced.
Secondly, viv size isn't a cut and dry topic. The snake probably doesn't understand the area in which it can roam. I personally feel that as long as their is a lot of dense ground cover, the size of the viv makes a smaller difference than most people think, however, with a large viv, a small snake will have to move a long way to change between the two heat extremes of the viv - something that is often overlooked.
Edit - Spelling |

Out of interest, if you are going to ignore advice, why waste your time and the time of the people who go out of their way to help?
That is both arrogant and rude, and stupid.
I haven't been rude yet, mildly sarcastic maybe. |

DING DING! Ladies ladies, pack it in or I'll get out the paddling pool and jelly.
Mike has a valid point delivered in typical Mike style, going off the picture he does look a bit small but if you are aware of this and have stuff the spaces with hides and foliage then thats all good and well. I had a hatchie (11 inches) in a 2 foot viv jammed full of foliage and he was fine but that cant be a cut and dry bit of advice, some don't fair well in big spaces. |
