It is finished!

[thebluejackal]

With the exception of some bamboo that I'll be adding later for more climbing surfaces. But hey, it's planted, I added isopods and springtails, and all it's really missing are the herps!

Plants are:
Hedera helix variegated cultivar (variegated ivy)
Davallia fejeensis (rabbit's foot fern)
Selaginella kraussiana variegatus
Pothos sp.
Sansevieria trifasciata
Pilea nummulariifolia
Peperomia magnoliifolia (variegated)
Tillandsia usneoides (live)
Tillandsia tenuifolia (amethyst)
Thuidium delicatulum

All plants came from NE Herpetoculture.

Wow~ That's great! What's going to go in there?!?

Fantastic, really gorgeous viv you created!

i'm pretty sure the hedera helix is potentially harmful to reptiles and amphibians, but you might want to double-check.

Yep the leaves and berries are toxic.


Nice tank, any plan to make the dragon you made for the background pop out more?

I like it!

Are they harmful just to animals that would potentially eat them? I ordered these from a vivarium-specialist herp shop, so I'd be surprised.

I poked around on it and found that it is not safe for turtles or other animals that could potentially eat plants. Same with Pothos, actually. Found it on a "safe" list for Poison Dart Frogs here and it's listed as safe for anoles here.

Both Pothos and Hedera are listed here as well for being potentially toxic to reptiles.

I imagine, then, that both plants are toxic to animals who would eat them, but safe for animals who don't?

I'm planning on getting two to three female crested geckos for this viv.

The flash on my stupid point-and-shoot camera keeps washing it out, so the photos don't do it justice. You CAN actually see it quite well if you're standing in the room.

i think they sell them because they're safe for dart frogs, but if they're accidentally ingested they can be trouble.

didn't realize pothos was potentially harmful, especially since almost every planted viv seems to include it.

 

[Ozymandias]

i wouldn't worry about it, the likely hood of a gecko actually eating them or even biting them is negligible. usually whats safe for dart frogs is safe for geckos. i think NE Herpetoculture is on here actually so thay might chime in, or you can email them and ask.

 

[ajb28221]

There is two different variations of pothos, one is toxic, one isn't. The ones that are on all the vivarium supply shops are highly unlikely to be the toxic kind

 

[GeckoFiend]

The isopods might eat them and then be eaten by the geckos. Perhaps that would be an issue?

 

[hornemadness]

isopods for the most part only eat dead and dying plant material. Ive kepts planted vivs that included pothos and many other plants that are dangerous if ingested, and i have never had a problem with either a gecko or any other animal eating an isopod or any invertebrate that ate something poisonous.

Nice viv!!! If i were a gecko i'd love to live there :biggrin:
