Hi all,

I've had a good dig around on the forums for this information but not found anything so far.. i'm sorry if i've missed it.

I have two questions and i'd really appreciate any of your experience / opinions:

1. Do you think plastic plants and vines such as this one are safe for our slithering friends:

Amapallo (Plastic) | Swell Reptiles

I ask because I bought this one and although not sharp, the material is certainly angular and hard / prickly where the plastic has been moulded together. I'm not sure how tough garters' little bellies are and what constitutes dangerous for them.


2. I have run a strip of LED tape across the top of the viv. It is partially waterproof tape, cool running but not out of range of the snake. Does anyone think is not ok?

Thanks for your help here

By the way, I'm just trying to get the set up bang on prior to the arrival of the little snake after the Kempton show
