In Reply to: Can you put fake plants inside an enclosure... posted by Cheryl n' Squiggs on March 10, 2001 at 11:08:39:

it depends on what kinds you get.
For example, i used to have fake ficus benjamina, about 6 feet tall. They were sturdy, but the branches cannot hold a 3.5+ foot iguana. The leaves are tough, and too big for the ig to consider as food.
Some fake greeneries are too delicate, and can be chewed right off.
An interesting way to go is get logs or large branches, real or not (real ones have to be boiled, bleached, and reboiled, then dried).
You wrap around fake vines or foliage, and it still looks pretty.
You have to keep them clean! They get dusty quiet easily.

The thing is, even real greenery can be eaten, and even be toxic for the iguana.
Look around, and find the better ones.
Let us know how it goes!

: safely??? I want to decorate the inside with some fake greenerey, but will Ssquiggs eat it?? I have some fake stuff on the outside of the cage but not inside...I don't want to have to bother with real greenery becasue it gets knocked over and lets just say I do not have a greeen thumb.. LOL Just curious>>>thanks!!
