Heya .
After reading a post by "codge" about securing your cables in a glass vivarium , it got me thinking .
There are big no no's on cellotape , Duct tape , anything with a sticky surface , including sticky pads .
Once your snake gets stuck to any of these it is a long slow and possibly painful process to remove , which could include your snake losing scales .
Okay , my solution was to use suction cups , these cups can be found on most fake plastic plants for your vivarium , especially those that hang , larger varieties have more than one so there's a spare right there . These cups have a ready made hole where the plant was attached
Here is a step by step guide in picture form .
First your plant and suction cup .
Suction cup and garden plant tie .
Bothe pieces attached .
Finally , stuck to the glass .
The last pic is showing an Hairdryer 3 core cable with plug dangling , that's a fair bit of weight , yours will have nowhere near that weight . And as of this moment it is still secured to the glass , so it is very strong .
Also I used garden ties in the picture , you could use anything , string , garden twine etc , up to you .
Hope this helps . |

Good idea, or you can use silicon sealant to stick it in place.
Lol , do you work for the silicone sealant industry by any chance  |

BE, can we please have this in the DIY sections both here and on tks?
I'd like to be able to find it again when I need it. 
Thanks.

Its good stuff and the same technique can be used on wood too, where the suction cups are no good. Even on glass I don't find those suction cups are always up to the job. |
