| Easy really, I would just like to hear how people fix climbing branches and the like so that they can not fall or roll onto their precious snakey friends. I've got a wooden Viv. |

| Cup hooks for bendable vines, Eyes for branches (a cable tye through a drilled hole on the branch then secured through the eye) if you want to be able to remove them easily for cleaning etc, for amore permanent branch screw it to the viv or for really large branches a bolt (double ended, don't know what the proper name is) threaded into the branch, whole drilled through side of viv then secured with nut or butterfly nut. |

I have followed this advice almost to the letter. The only difference being that in my case I could get away with putting the cable ties around the branch, therefore not needing to drill any holes. |

I just bung my branches in, the wobbliness and movement is much more fun and entertaining for me. 
With the kings though, it's just normal to leave them loose as they will try to rip them down to use as weapons for viv-trashing anyway.  |
