Hi all my name is nicky i am from Lancashire in the uk my partner has just bought a extra tall exo terra tank and we are in the process of setting it up to get ready for our 2 new family members (red eye tree frog) i am extremely new to this so i apologise if my wording is wrong!! although my partner has had reptiles before and we want their home to be perfect he is doing a rainforest set up with mist and fogger i was just looking for some help on the plant side as we would like to live plants in. is it better to put real plants than fake??? what are good plants to put in? and is it possible to have some flowering ones??? i'm sorry if my questions seem ridiculous i just want them to be happy in their new home lolxx

Hi nicky, welcome to the forum, i am new here also and will be building the same type of set up you mentioned. exo terra with live plants and 2 dartfrogs.

check out www.dartfrog.co.uk Marc has lots of live plants/flowers {orchids ect} all of which is suitable for a vivarium, and will supply you with additional information if its needed.

this will be my 1st vivarium so i originally signed up to pick the brains of all the knowledgeable people on this forum, The experts know there stuff and you will find everyone is extremely helpful.

i will be creating a thread of a full step by step process as i slowly progress, so keep an eye out for that as it may help you out a little

have a great day

Hello and welcome, Nicky .

Red eyed tree frogs love nice tall plants they can climb, perch, and sleep on. They prefer nice sturdy leaves that can hold their weight. Some great choices are scindapsus aureus (pothos) and aglaomena (Chinese evergreen). There are several other plants too.
