Enclosure perches

I've noticed a lot of enclosure photos have branches and vines screwed to walls or resting on the bottom, For a lot of years i have been using PVC end caps cut in half for supports. If you buy one end cap and cut it in half it will make a holding support for one branch, with at least two of these branches is enough for most python and lizards to swing off. this method keeps the enclosure floors clear of clutter and makes it easier to change the floor substrate without disturbing the occupant if its resting on them, another advantage is you can remove the whole branch with the snake or lizard still siting on it out of the enclosure with out to much stress to both parties. Below are photos of 40mm sewer end caps, they can come in sizes of 40, 50, 65, 100, 150 from any plumbing supply store. I've also used them in glass enclosures as you can stick them on with silicon and leave for about 7 days before using, this would be useful for frog enclosures.
