I've recently got my first corn snake and Viv, it looks abit boring and I don't want him to get bord, just wondered what other fake plants people where using and where can I get them from, if you have any nice pictures of a Viv with plants then please post. Would love to have a look, thanks :D

Good idea :), would that take the weight of a snake, don't want my 4ft corn to wrap around it and it snap or fall down lol
