GRAPEVINES, any advice?

[AbranV]

Good morning!

I came across a Craigslist ad for a bunch of grape vines. These are still "alive" and the homeowner is getting ready to cut them down.

My questions for everyone.....

1. Is there any special processes needed to get them vivarium ready?
for example drying, treating, sandblasting, baking?

2. How pliable are they after being dried?

3. How well will they hold up in a vivarium?

4. Would anybody be interested in some fresh/dried vines?

Let me know asap, so I know how much to bring home. The vines will be free to you, just pay for any shipping.

Thanks for the help

I've seen a lot of people advising that grapevine is good for dry enclosures, not damp ones because it molds easily. But if you want to treat it I'm sure standard boiling/ baking will work.

I had the same thing when we trimmed or grape vines. I would not use it anywhere that it gets wet since the mold that grows is deadly to frogs! So if you're not using it got a desert enclosure I would not use it! I hope this helps!

Indeed, Grapevines will quickly develop a grey mold that is extremely bad. Do not use it in an amphibian vivarium.
