| I use a glue gun, you should never use tape inside the viv, it can be very harmful to your snake. I bought clear aquarium tubeing for my led strips and glue gunned the tube instead of the lights. |

Hotglue, holds well and can be removed without a mark when you want to.
Sticky things are a total nono in snake vivs, they get stuck on even very low tack stuff and it can cause some serious damage. I think a member here has a snow corn who got stuck on tape at her previous owners, and now has a large twist in her neck. |

i would go to an electrical wholesaler and ask for a metal cable strap. its brilliant every 10mm its got a hole to put a screw thru. u cut it how long you want it and file its ends so its not sharpe.
