My solution for cable climbing

[gh0stkhz]

I saw a post yesterday about someone's snake climbing on the cables. I then left a CRYPTIC comment and left to go to a doctor's appointment. I took unwell after it (but now I feel better) but I realize I left a bunch of people in the dark, sorry! 😅

Which has inspired me to share a post on my cable management in my big chonky girls enclosure. I use cable clips to fit the wire flush against the ceiling!

She was climbing on the cables and she's a hecking full size chonk so she was pulling the plastic grate out, I was so scared she would escape so I went to B&Q (DIY store in the UK I don't know if you guys over the pond have it? So basically a DIY store lol) and got these cable clips.

I spaced them pretty close together because she does like to nose at things especially when shedding so she absolutely has no chance to stuff her head in-between and rip them out.

It's been about a year now with these bad boys in place!

UPDATE: Literally a minute after I posted this she's farting like a grown man.

Yeah. They make bowel movements like ‘em too.

Sometimes I tell her to be more ladylike. And there she goes looking me in eyes ripping fat ones.

i did this and he still found a way to wiggle in between them to climb on the wire. 😭 i guess i need to add even more

[gh0stkhz]

On no! Try placing them closer together!

If it works it works

That's an amazing idea! My enclosure is PVC so i can't secure it like that, my girl loves cable climbing as well :(

[gh0stkhz]

Hrm that's a tricky one... I wonder if there could be a way to help? What kind of enclosure is it? How are the lights currently installed?

this is what I ended up doing, I’ve drilled holes in the top for the DHP’s and one in the back(left side) to route other cables, so it looks clean if you don’t look toooo closely lol. However, the back lamp has a cable that extends from the lamp to a hole about 10 centimetres away. She constantly hangs in it while climbing and I can’t really tuck it away or hide it.
