Just wondering if anyone has put aquarium ornaments in their vivs?
im thinking about getting a hollow skull or some ruins. Simply because itll give kax some more places to hide, and more places to climb, plus itll make her viv look pretty cool i think.
This is the sort of skull i was thinking about:

Or these sort of ruins:

or even both
im assuming that if i clean them down with disinfectant anyway before i put them in with her they wont be harmful.
opinions guys?

Hey, maybe you could fit a panel of strong plastic wrap - like a piece from a bag - across the eyeholes from the inside, then seal the whole lot with aquarium sealant, making sure the edges of the plastic are covered - beware of strong fumes and takes 2 days to cure, then it's safe.
The skull will then have weird glazed maybe bulgy eyeholes, but the snake won't be able to climb through, and could look kind of cool ...if you're strange lol! |

haha, thats true, all the skulls i've been looking at tend to be the ones that have the hole at the bottom, so if she is too big to fit out of the eyes, she will be able to fit out of the bottom, then i can take it out because it'll be too small. |

Just be careful of like rock formations etc,been afew times when snakes have squeezed into tiny holes and got stuck..owner having to smash up the thing to get them out.
And why would things like a ferns,be growing underwater? |

thats what i thought :) and also why i would be happy to put a neat looking skull in there, as long as the eyes are big enough for her to fit through so she doesn't get stuck in there.
if there are sharp edges i could easily rub them down and re-paint them if necessary. |
