Ya know Lori, if I knew what Diameter that PVC was, we could drum you up some acrylic like clear or even transparent green......that would look sweet as hell!

The 1" pvc pipe in there has been driving her crazy since day one but for some strange reason I have tons of it and we hadn't found a better alternative.

LOL.....well it does kind of stick out...LOL Didn't you have any of the gray stuff? Well at anyrate we'll get that fixed up.
Ohhhhhhh forgot to mention, how about Bamboo? I have a bunch of that laying around, you can cut it to whatever.....didn't know how naturallistic you wanted to go?

it actually isn't white - I painted it an tanish color - doesnt show up well in the pics! I thought about using bamboo (wally world sells poles of it) but I have used bamboo before (thinner) and it got mushy with the humidity.

Not sure. I normally don't have much of that in stock because it is only required in certain counties out here and then only for a specific type of job. I may have had some just not enough for 4 poles.
I have seen some cages were they use a blow torch to melt the pvc and then twist it to make it look more like a branch. I wanted to try that but never got around to it.
I know how you are about trying stuff so if you ever try it make sure you are in a well ventilated area or outside. PVC will put off toxic fumes when it is burning.

Ahhhhh I gotcha! Well I'll keep looking for Acrylic then. LOL

TOO THE BATCAVE! (Insert dippy music)
LOL.....yeah I saw that to, I think the Repti-racks guy does that....could certainly try it if you'd like something that instead of the acrylic? Up to you guys.
