Snake in a Tree

captainjack0000 May 09, 2012 03:56 PM

I have my lil hobby hondo and he seems to be doing great. Already shed once, actually found it this morning.

He also seems to be settling into his tank nicely.

Anyway, most people and online guides say milks don't need a climbing branch. I put one in and propped a fake plant up against it, kinda like a leaning tree.

On more than one occasion I have found my lil guy curled up in the leaves of the 'tree'. Photos are hard because it is a really good hiding spot.

Has anyone else had their milks climb into trees? I figure as a baby it is good to know how to climb and hide to escape predators, but I never thought he'd hang out in the tree.

Snake in a "tree" has beeen a favorite post of my own lately... but it's been my abnorma that has been doing the climbing.

She's given it up over the last month or so though... my fake plants are held up by suction cups... she's large enough and heavy enough now for the suction cups to detach from the enclosure walls and send her tumbling to the bottom.

Have a look at some of my recent posts and you'll see her up that tree... or e-mail me for some pics... I never get tired of showing her off.

Thanks,

I found a photo here

If you have any others, please share them. I think snakes in trees are super cool.
