I've been using plain old pieces of cork bark with some of mine. Works especially well with the larger sizes of RUB because you can easily screw it in from the other side. The fact that there is a big gap left in between the terrarium wall and cork bark is a plus, because the snakes love to crawl in there!

You can even pin up an entire hollow "tube" of cork which will get a lot of attention both as a hidey-hole and a "climbing frame". My corns love it, as well as the more arboreal species.

Alternatively, it is just as easy to fix fairly large branches to the sides to act as second and third "levels" and give far more dimension to your vivarium. It's surprising how often even "terrestrial" species like king snakes will clamber around within the confines of a terrarium. I'm sure it's good exercise too!
