    I use peat moss and coco fiber, cork rounds on my backgrounds. I probably will start incorporating wood chips in the future. Then there are the pieces of actual wood.

    I recently picked up some Monkey Vine which I am pretty impressed with. I just wonder how it stands up over time.

    Just googled Monkey Vine and it looks pretty cool. My guess it will last a while since its already in such a humid environment.

    I am seeing that the fruit flies are collecting on the vine. Not sure if this is a common thing or jus a place in my viv they are trying to escape with.

    Shelf musrooms are nontoxic and frogs love to poop on them. Helps with clean up when they're toilet trained!!! LOL if you have them growing in you're area, you're lucky. Otherwise they're expensive on the net. Dry for a month. Don't use in. High humidity setups. 60% is fine
