"I have two young Jungle Carpet Pythons. I used to have the log houses made from real wood, but their humidity needs led to the wood molding. I needed something that looked natural, was easy to clean and they would enjoy...the Reptile Bark Bends meet them all! It looks great and cleans easily. My snakes love them and enjoy peaking out through the small side hole. I also like that is has no sharp edges, which I have seen on different molded houses."
