Thought I'd dig up this old thread because it's inspired me. A lot of years ago when I was a Scout I was particularly adept at tying knots and pioneering. I used to make models using peasticks. So I decided I'm going to scale up slightly, because peasticks won't take a good snake weight, and build some platforms and rope bridges and things for our girls to play on. I need to remember how I used to do the parabolic pioneering designs because I think they'd make great hammocks.
I'll create a thread for it when I start building.

I'm glad Bill creativity has inspired you. He loves to build and create things.

I'm still thinking about getting some habitrail pieces and putting them together for my snakes. Another member had mentioned it on here before...I'm not particularly good at building things but I thought it would be neat for them to play in.

My mom wanted to use habitrails for the snakes, and make a business out of it, making our own stuff designed for snakes instead of rodents.While it's a cool business idea, I don't think many people would buy it if that ever happened.

[EasternGirl]

Yeah..very cool idea...but I know what you mean. I thought about designing enclosures that were better designed for garters...with lids and so forth that had smaller snakes in mind in terms of being escape proof and safe...but then I thought, honestly, how big would my market be? I probably wouldn't even make enough money to cover the costs involved in making the enclosures. It's unfortunate.

I've been thinking of a habitrail type set-up connecting an upland/ dry tank to a humid/swampy/marshy tank so the snakes can pick from several humidity/temperature/ acidity areas.

[EasternGirl]

That would be very cool...if you do that, you must post pics.

A friend of mines friend lol Had a huge python and didn't like that he just sat in a tank all day so he cut holes in the tank and made a pipe system that ran along the ceiling with clear sections and dark sections and he cut holes in his walls to make it go from room to room. He also had multiple access doors where he would introduce a bunny or a guinea pig or a few rats etc. lol I saw pictures of this set up, it was huge! Like a GIANT habitrail system! Big snake too! about 7ft long. He had braces attached to the ceiling studs to keep the heavy snake from falling with the pipes. He used a mix of black pvc pipes and clear plexi glass. Was neat to see.


Btw Katach I love that .. lol new toy. I'll have to make something like that, I've got a bag of rawhide ties sitting around here somewhere... lol
