I read somewhere the kings liked to climb and was wondering what do you put in their vivs to let them do so?

I've used egg boxes, chocolate orange boxes, milk cartons and colanders. Plus more random stuff.
Trio spent hours investigating the colander, every single little round hole in it HAD to be checked, several times.  |

| Branches are good but they will climb on anything. My older two even cling on to their bulb guards at times (which just proves that they are essential) |

| So far i have not seen my King climb at all, it has branches there to use if it wanted to climb but it never seems to bother. |

| I stripped of the bark with a stanley knife, sanded them to make them smooth and then soaked the branches in the bath in a bleach solution. Some of these branches were 6' long so I couldn't fit them in the oven so I just let them dry naturally. Will get a photo up to show what some of them looked like after I'd finished |

I have a fake hollowed log in mine also with a fake plant that I've attached to the tank so it looks like its coming from the top of the log. His favorite place to climb to though is the gap in the lid(its the flap that opens in the middle of the lid.He manages to lift himself up and just about fit into the gap that runs around the flap, luckily it locks into place so there is to chance of him pushing it open 
Can't believe the strength they have to lift their bodies so high |
