Great project that snakes love!

Hi! I made the most adorable lounge for my snakes, they just love it!
:o Here's how to make it.

Materials:
popsicle sticks
hot glue gun
5 x 5 piece of fabric

Procedure:
1. Create a square by gluing 4 sticks together.
2. Glue the fabric on the top of the square (all slack in the middle).
3. Create a second popsicle stick square on top of the fabric.
4. Glue 2 sticks pointing down to each corner of the frame.
5. Glue a final square on the bottom of the structure.
6. Place in your cage so that the fabric is just below the heat lamp.
7. Let your snakes lounge and get warmed up.

Just remember they are snakes and don't start knitting mittens and sewing little dresses for them... :rolleyes:

[Snake lover 3-25]

LOL i wish... i did try to dress them up once but... the clothes just wouldn't stay on i wonder why...

[Zephyr]

...
You could knit them a little sock.
lol

[Snake lover 3-25]

lol i cant even knit!

[Zephyr]

Hmm... A nice little sock would make a good shedding place actually...

I think that if i ever released the mother back to the wild she would truely either die or come running back to me... and as for the baby... she wouldn't even leave my hand! :)

[Snake lover 3-25]

hey speaking of sheading places... my baby is about to shed! her eyes changed back from being blue yesterday :)

[Snake lover 3-25]
