Sounds like something my mom said once. I don't remember her exact words, but it was something along the lines of "They sure add a lot to a home."

I was wondering how you secured the hut up there. Can you hot glue it?? I want to try something like this too... will work on it this weekend!! :-)

My mom finally admitted that Mordecai and Miriam are pretty... that's a big step for her!!

I used clear packing tape. I was afraid to use glue because of the fumes, but when I was talking to my mom last night she said that as long as the glue is dry it should be fine for living things. Basically i stuck tape to the sides of the terrarium and the underside of the perch; because it's in the corner it has enough support.

I use a hot glue gun for all kinds of things in the snake tanks. Just make sure it's good and dry before putting it in the tank.
I use it to stick greenery on branches and hides, suction cups to stick things to the side of the tank, and even to glue that fake foam rock to the backs of the tanks! I've never had a problem with it.

Speaking of moms and snakes, mine is cool enough that she'll even take care of them when I go away on vacation!! I don't think anything gets to that woman -- she's amazing!!

looks good!

everytime I see a red light on a cage, I get that song in my head!
"Roxanne, you don't have to turn on the red light"

thats a nice setup, and a very cute garter snake too.
Corn snakes are as a rule very easy to keep, just a shame mine is very unpredictable. dont make the same mistake we did, make sure you get one from a good breeder,
we got ours from a reptile shop, they had no idea on the breeders background and knew nothing about how to keep corns either. it turned out that the corn snake we had bought had questionable parentage, being not quite fully corn. Drew is part corn and part black rat snake apparently some are bred that way to give them a little more bulk and length (although the results of that are questionable), instead it can make them quite unpredictable, Drew, whilst being a lovely snake to look at, is pretty much not a snake you can handle and be relaxed with. He can turn very quickly.
Good luck with your choice.
