...I think the fact that the grapevine forms mold is a good sign that you have your cage humidity at a good level. Grapevine looks very nice but as you have found will rapidly form mold and not last so long in a humid cage whether you clean it or not. I think the cypress and drift wood that were mentioned are both much better choices than grapevine. Cypress can last for a very long time in a wet cage. If you get driftwood that has been in the ocean for awhile it will have plenty of salt in it which will help to prevent the formation of mold.

>>Well, my snake is doing great. Eating every 4 days. Very friendly. His girth increased a bit in the last 2 weeks. But I have noticed something.

>>The sand blasted grape branch I have in his tank is starting to grow " white fuzzy mold " on it. This is bad, correct ? Is there any way to avoid this? I mean the snake enjoys climbing all over this thing, Id hate to remove it from the tank. Is it possible to just wash it every couple weeks?

>>Hoping to get some advice.
