I have a 5 foot jungle carpet python that I am moving from a 40 gallon tank to an 80 gallon tank. I want to make it as natural as possible with climbing branches and plants. Will those silk fake plants you can buy at Walmart be ok with snakes?? I just want to try to keep the cost down since those packaged plastic plants at Petsmart/Petco are more expensive.
I searched the forums but didn't see any ones about silk plants in with snakes.
Does anyone have opinions on either....Thanks, Jean

The silk plants should be fine to use, however they tend to be less 'sturdy' and harder to clean than the plastic plants. It depends on how you are looking to place them in the tank, and where. I have been suctioning my plants to the sides of the tank (pet store variety, so they came with the cups but you can buy them cheaply elsewhere) but I don't have any snake heavy enough yet to 'pull' them down.
