Dead vines spring to life

[smy_749]

Sawed a few vines from my pops backyard to put in some display vivs. This one is the only one that has done this, but they are growing like weeds. Pretty cool/crazy.

Awesome! Nature finds a way.

Cool!! Willow branches tend to do this as well, love how this looks :D

I've had cactus pads sprout to life on herbarium sheets. That's after being filleted, covered in salt, and oven cooked for several days.

There is nothing in there atm actually lol. I seperated the dorsalis group into 3 seperate enclosures to minimize stress, and was gonna leave the male in this one, but decided it bothered me too much that it wasn't the same style as the other two. Now its just empty haha

While that looks like it will work out fine, you might want to be careful about which types of plants you're introducing into your cages. That's certainly not Poison Ivy, but Poison Ivy does grow in vines high into trees. Just at thought...

Very cool. What kind of lighting is on top?

[smy_749]

Just a regular t8 tube, bought it at homedepot. Most of the light is on the cage next to it, it only receives a small amount. And yes Jim, I was too stupid to double check before I added it to the enclosure. Luckily I've been told its fine so I'll leave it for now haha

smy_749,

Not stupid at all, just trying to find ways to improve the living habitat for your lizards. I think it will add a new element to your cages that your lizards will enjoy tremendously.
