Being more of a practical person when it comes to viv decor, My mrs came with me to Robs at Scales and Fangs. Robs setups look so much better to the eye than mine due to all the plants and backgrounds that he use's.
After much Nagging from My mrs I had to fold and change the look of my Vivs.
Heres how I did the first one.

This is roughly how it looked before.

Pretty boring but easy to keep clean and the snake kept in here had everything it needed.

So I bought this roll of reed screen from homebase for £ 15 its 1 metre high and 4 metres long so you get a fair amount for your money.

I cut it with a pair of snips to size and fixed it to the inside of the viv with Cable clips

Then added the other furniture and clean substrate.

All I need to do now is to get some more silk plants and tie them to the back wall and sides.
This took me about 15 mins to cut and fix the reed backing. But I have to admit the finnished look is much better. but i dont know how long it will last as I have a large dumerili in this viv that has a tendency to poo around the edge of the viv. So I may have to remove or replace the reed at some point.

I'm Going to do the rest of my vivs this week. as I have plenty of the reed screen left over.

I hope you like. Deano....

Looks really good deano, done a great job.

However, I cant take the credit for how the vivs look, this is all Trish's hard work and boy does she do an amazing job.
