Help Ryu get a perch!

[Ryodraco]

As for securing it, your best bet is to drill it in and have something that can be set on the rod without it moving.

What specifically do you mean by "drill it in"? And you're saying I should use the rod already in there for additional support? Keep in mind the pole can be removed.


And trouble with all those pieces of wood you linked is I won't know if they're suitable until its actually delivered to me.

Or you can buy closet pole hangers that have a squared end so that the rod can't spin. You may need to do some shaving or sanding to get the rod in, but once in problem solved.

I wouldn't know where to start with making something out of PVC. As for closet poles, the issue there is that Ryu is a pretty thick-bodied snake. I don't think he'd be able to use a closet pole very effectively, he's never really used the rod that already in there for instance.

It's honestly super easy. I built mine in probably 10 minutes. Do you have a friend or family member with at least entry level handyman skills?
You could probably go to Home Depot and they'd cut the pieces for you. Then it's just a matter of putting them together by hand. No tools needed.

As for closet rods, you could always double up putting two side by each. You could even place a platform on top. This would get you a perch, shelf and temp gradient options.

Also, I forgot to mention earlier, if your heating equipment is properly regulated by a thermostat you don't have to worry about your snake being burned.
