Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Hanging branches for a perch?
I'm going to be setting up a bigger tank for my GTP and need to know what I can use to hang bamboo or another style perch across the tank. I have an idea of a plastic mount to stick on but cannot figure out who makes it etc. any help would be wonderful.

I've always made my own using various methods. It depends though on what the cage is made of. You did say tank, but that can be a generic term. Is it a glass aquarium?

Hi clay. Yeah I should've specified. It's a 40g glass breeder tank

I haven't done this in a glass tank, but one method I've used comes to mind that could be adapted to it.
You'll need two pieces PVC pipe large enough for the branch to fit inside, both about two inches long.
Cut one piece in half so that you have a U shaped piece. It's usually safer to do this with a longer piece then cut the U to length, unless you have a band saw.
Drill a hole through the perch and the U shaped piece for a pin to go in.
Silicone the round pipe and the U shaped pipe on opposite ends of the tank. The perch goes in the round piece and sits on the U shaped piece, this makes it removable.
Put a pin through the hole you drilled to keep the perch from rotating with the snake on it.
The pin can be anything you want as long as it's shaped like a large nail so it will drop into the hole but not fall all the way through. I used to use clevis pins.
The other ways I've mounted perches would be incompatible with a glass tank, but this method is easy to make, inexpensive, and doesn't look bad. ABS pipe could even be used for a slick black look.

I get plastic curtain rod holders and silicone them on using an aquarium silicone (I get supplies at home depot or OSH). I use them for both branches and dowel rods.
you can see part in the pic here

That's an excellent idea April, I hadn't thought of curtain or closet rod holders. Much easier than my way.
I guess when I approach a problem I default to the hardware store approach when I need to look at housewares more often lol.
