Just wondering.. Does anyone know if there's a way to attach those hanging plants (exo-terra ones) to the backgrounds that come with the exo-terra vivs? Confused

Can you pin them to it in some way? I'm assuming the suckers on them won't stick to it..

Thanks for any help! Smile

Two points; if I may. If you are thinking of feeding crix in the exo terra, ensure you block up the channels in the fake rock background, as they will all hide up it and behind it! Been there! If feeding very small insects also block up the mesh cover cable slots and any other top cover small gaps. I used masking tape. Wink

You could attach the plants via a thin needle and thread directly through the background round the stem of fake plants then secure as you wish. Bit fiddly but if you use green thread will never show up Very Happy

Plus this will not cause any potential harmful objects in the viv for the herp such as staples etc.

Ah, thanks Rick! Very Happy

Good idea.. I was thinking if I used pins or anything like that, then it could be harmful if they fell out.. but using thread gets around that issue! Yey! Very Happy
