    hide idea

    ok so i just came up with this idea to make a cool hide for the babies when they get here and well i cut a toilet paper roll opened it up then got fake ivy vines from the dollar store (same ones i did to make the vines in the big tank) and i cut them into shorter lengths i poked holes along the sides of the now opened up tube and stuck the ends of each vine segment into the holes criss crossing them anyways here are pics





    ok i already know what some of you will ask
    aren't those bits sticking out underneath sharp?
    no they are not sharp i checked al of them with my fingers if any were the least bit sharp then i files them down with my mini files until they were smooth

    That's a neat idea. I'm sure the babies will love hiding in there.

    Kev, bet the GF is loving that. NOT!

    Sweat not, Kiddo, I'm old enuff to be your grandmother.

    I promise I will NOT pinch your face cheek and call you "cute."

    I feel ya. Ever since I fell in love with Winnie, all I can think is snakes, snakes, snakes. I'm SO HAPPY to have my two silly boys, Peepers and Jeepers.

    And, yeah, Stefan. I kiss them and hug then and call them their names!

    Kevie, looking forward to the Hoggies. Just more to love and kiss and cuddle and feed and watch as they do what Hoggies do.

    FACINATING anjamuls, these snakes.
