Default jungle plants

Hi,

We are new to the site and the world of bearded dragons. I picked up my beardie this morning - a gorgeous italian leatherback who we have named Isabella.
She has settled in well to her viv and is already eating veg and crickets.

I just need a little advice on the jungle plants we have put in the viv as decoration. The suckers don't seem to be strong enough to keep the plants stuck to the walls, I have tried double sided sticky pads but due to the dry atmosphere they aren't working very well either. How do people attach the plants in their vivs so that they actually stay up?

Many thanks

Yeah suckers on a wooden viv not good most of the time lol

Maybe try screwing one of those small eye loop things and either use a zip cord or
a bag tie and fix your plant to the loop works for me. ;)


Hope that helps!

Cheers for the advice but we didn't really want to start drilling holes in the viv. is there anything else that could be used?

Lol,I would never use anything that is sticky just in case it ever come unstuck
from the viv and sticks to your animal.
The hole the eyelet would make is only small 8mm deep about 2mm wide lol

I use the cable nails that way you can slide the trees/bushes out and clean them easy.

I also use the cable nails, they seem to be easy to remove should you need to.
