I saw some bonsais that are quiet nice and "big" to look neat in a terraria for my ig. They wont be used for climbing (duh) but for decor they seem fantastic. They have them also with 'mini-waterfalls' and fountains too!
But is it ok to use them? or will the iguana eat/destroy the little tree?

About the project:

- Room-sized, 10'X10'X10' terraria.

- fake grass/turf puti in tiles for easy removal/cleaning.

- vases and pots containing:
> ficus benjamina (2 large ones)
> bonsais' (if ok)
> fake palm trees

- rocks put around vases and pots to prevent spills, and "knock-overs", and for access to climbing.

- plastic vines on the walls.

- small fountains (self-filtered, for drinking and decor)

- 2 pools:
> fish pool with goldfish and the like (small)
> swimming/bathing pool
> one is 5' sq. (bath) other is 3.5' sq.

- toilet (kitty litter with baby wipes).

- proper lighting

- assorted logs.

What do you think? It should look like a small jungle, with almost everything needed.

It will take me time to get all the stuff (and the money!), but so far so good uh?

All q's and comments welcomed.
Thanx!
