I also do celebrity genitalia. Unfortunately, I haven't met any celebrities.

Oh, Wayne. (sigh)

How boring it would be around here w/o your visual jokes. You are a love!

ok so i was bored today and remebered i had lots of stuff left over from what would have been put in the baby tank and decided to get rid of the rock hide on the left side of the big tank

so i went out got some small ivy vines that were starting get get all woody cut them into short lengths baked them andthen got to work i strung them together at the top with garden wire and made them into the shape of a tipi then using garden wire and more ivy vines i reinforced the shape by putting a cross piece on each side essentially making each side look like the letter "A"
then i wrapped the fake ivy plant all round the hide securing it with garden wire once again (would have worked better if i had a hot glue gun) and then i filled in the gaps by weaving more fake ivy through the holes
anyways enough talking time for pics

in the tank

close up

on the floor

under the hide

and one last shot


as you can see the legs will go down into the substrate and they can burrow in or however they feel like getting in i caught george going in through one of the smal holes in the side and i have caught both of them in it a few times already so i guess they like it

How Crafty! I like it Kev & I'm sure the snakes do too!

I put one of these upside down in Sly's tank the other day... thought they'd be awesome for babies... not near as aesthetically pleasing as your ivy t-pee, tho

Just made me think of the Styx song...

"I got too much time on my hands"

Not really Kevin, Excellent hide. How long did it take to weave that all together?

[crzy_kevo]

it took me about an hour if you include baking the vines and sweeping up the bark afterwards

[infernalis]

George and checkers like it?

[crzy_kevo]

ya i have caught them in it a few times they don't like it as much as their leafy basking branches but they have gone into it a few times 75% of the time they are up on their leafy branches basking in the light

and actually the pic with it in the tank checkers is inside you can't tell tho cuz you can't see through all the leaves

Those are some great hides. I know on another forum I'm a part of a lot of people use Great Stuff (waterproof for kitchens/baths) to create water features, and ledges, etc in their vivariums. That would probably be another option to making hides.
