There is no reason why they can't be used. The only drawback I can see is they are limited in shape. Rubber vines are sold in pet/reptile stores, it is safe and can be shaped to need.

Is there any reason that one could not use bird perches (the smooth wood ones) as climbing branches for tree frogs? I know most have the little metal screw on the end, but as long as that isn't just poking out where a frog could be hurt is there any reason that they couldn't be used. I am just thinking there are long perfect bird perches for a lot cheaper than any other wood you can buy and they are nice and smooth. Ideas?

I would probably get a little of both. I want to have a vine as well but I want lots of natural climbing options in my tank. I saw a cool curvy one I may get. Thanks for the reply!!
You're welcome
