Questions & Answers
Although the leaves are made of silk and fabric, the vines are made of plastic! I hope this information is useful.
For the past few years, I've used craft store and dollar store silk plants in all of my aquariums with no problems. To be safe, I washed them in hot water with vinegar, then rinsed them with hot water to remove any remaining vinegar. When I do my weekly water changes/cleaning decor routine, I keep an eye on my parameters and ends where any metal could poke out. I'm actually buying this now for my aquariums:
Suction cups are included, but they will not suction to mesh or screen cages. Twisty ties or thread will suffice to keep it secure.

They're great decorations and add some naturalism to my setups. br>So far, one has ignored them while the other has yanked them out of the ground to cover their burrow. It's fascinating to see them interact with them in the same way they would with wild plants. I'd give it a ten out of ten, and I'd buy it again br>Imaginative+ paraphrase Ivy can only be found in the lower right corner. BUYER INFORMATION: br>br>NOTES FOR BUYERS: The "main vine" has thin wire that extends up into the main stem of most of the leaf clumps to give it some posability. My vine had a leaf clump at the "beginning," but a good inch of wire was sticking out the far end. If you're going to use it for herps, you should either cut it off or cover it with something. br>Because I don't use the suction cups, I can't comment on how well they work or don't work. There are two small suction cups with wire hooks on each side. They're not attached to the vine, so you can stick them wherever you want and cover them with the fine.
Pythor is a huge fan of plants. I recommend purchasing clips to secure the plants to the tank in a more secure manner. *update: the wires from the plastic vine snagged poor Pythor and strangled him. As a result, I had to remove his vines from his property.
I've been using these for a few years now in my chameleon cages. I've tried all the other fake vines and these look the most natural. br>To give them freedom of movement, I twist them around branches. br>br>They come with two tiny suction cups to hang them up with, but I've never used them because I prefer twist-tiesbr>to connect them to things. br>br>I also use these outside the cage as a kind of "free range" area where I can let my dogs run around and explore. I thicken and strengthen them by twisting them around Fluker's jungle vines, which have a thicker wire inside and, when twisted together, make great roadways for my chams to travel on or just relax on. It's also suitable for larger animals. br>br>The leaves are made of a soft plastic-coated cloth that can be easily cleaned with a damp towel. The only issue I have is that the leaves fall off from time to time. br>br> However, gluing them back on is simple enough. br>It would also be nice if they were slightly longer. They're only about a foot or so shorter than jungle vines. br>br>However, I believe they are the most suitable option.
They have a variety of leaf sizes and look great. The wires are strong enough to be molded, and the green color is appealing. They appear to be a hit with my chameleon. br>br>Two vines are depicted.
The crickets appear to be happier and more productive, and I can simply remove, wash, and replace the vines when they become dirty. Compared to cardboard, it has a lower odor and is more hygienic.
The suction cups that come with the kit are never very effective. It's a little tricky to position it in a way that looks natural, but it looks great overall, especially for the price! My bearded dragon was trying to eat the leaves, so I hung the vine up by her UVB fixture.
My baby ball python wouldn't come out until it was dark, and she didn't want to explore much. I put two of these in his 120 gallon tank, and he emerged and began to explore within an hour. For shy ball pythons, this is a must-have item. If anything changes, I'll let you know.
This is what I used to make my finch flight cage. It is extremely popular among them. It's simple to clean, has no sharp edges, and improves the appearance of the cage. They enjoy hiding in them as well:.
