I wanted to add some more climbing/hiding areas for my frogs. I got a vine to throw in the viv and I want to run some kind of vine plant on it. I do not want to use pothos. It just looks boring. Any ideas on a vine plant with big enough leaves for the red eyes with an interesting look to them. and where I can get them?
 
mmm well i know there are other species of pythos that might be good and check out [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]peperomia family of plant that might be more like it but be warned thay aren't true climbing plants. a true vine like [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica]ficus pumila might work but i think it's a bit small for red eyes.

for terrarium plants i tend to use these sites but that just because i know them i'm always on the look out for good plant websites

This is what I'm working with.

I was thinking of running one of those bendable vines along the upper back and growing a vine plant along the bendable vine. I figured running it along the upper back wont clutter up the tank and still provide some extra space for the frogs. This plant looks interesting and a 5" leaf would be long enough for the frogs, I just wonder if it would be wide enough.

Anybody have any input on that plant?
 
nice tank i feel like i've seen it before (have ou posted on here or vivarium forum before? lol) i get the idea of what your trying to do i think that plant might be sutable and would be wide enough though i've never worked with that one. also black joungle's plant tends to have small plant so you might try find other places might even beable to find that one in a good local nursery.
 
Good memory. I posted a thread with pics a couple months ago. I'll see if I can find it somewhere else. The 2 frogs are currently making the big broom their home but I wan to add a couple more in the tank so I want to make sure they all have plenty of places to climb/hunt/sleep.
