Beginning to get my OH round to the idea of our new addition, so thought I would get the RUB setup. It is a 12ltr one, hide each end, nice bit of kitchen towel roll and a water bowl, and a couple of sticks to climb over! First pic is without the plant, and the second is with it. What do you think?

Looks great. Have you used anything to secure the sticks in place? It looks like you've put holes through the tub, and if the sticks get knocked it would leave a great escape route! Might be worth holding them in place with some aquarium sealant, will make it a little awkward to clean out, but better to be safe

Those sticks are wedged so tightly I can barely move them so snakey will have no hope!

I made sure the holes were ever so slightly smaller than the sticks to ensure they are nice and tight!

Looks awesome, and very similar to how I have Ara's faun set up (his is a little smaller than this.) Ara especially loves the plant and is more active when it's in there than when I swap it for other hides/toilet rolls.

It's just a normal hide that looks a bit like a tree trunk!
