Its great to work wit, if you have the tools ;)....all different diameters, and it doesnt rot, or mold....my last 2 sacs (P. irminia, A. avic) wer laid, and cared for in the pcv...it creates a very dark, and secure place for them to hide, and work!

I will snap some shots of PCV hides being put good use!

...stay tuned!

:cool:

EDIT: i should say that the arboreals are fully round tubes, not cut to half moon shape, like some of the terrestrial ones shown..

thanx alot man for the positive comments!......those hides are actually PCV pipeing....i cut them to desired length, then i try to make them look like old wood/bark, by grinding them a bit with my drill, equipt with a wire wheel...i do the holes with a holesaw bit....and use my bandsaw to cut the slots/grooves in them.
