    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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?
 
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.

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.
