I've just done 3 new set ups, I wanted to go toward a more natural look rather than the usual. I've chosen vivs, they're not huge but we already had them and they were empty so ...  They're not complete yet, and I've got to work out how to hang water bottles  ! But let me know what ya think. Ignore the mess reflected in the glass, I literally have finished them 20 minutes ago and I really CBA to tidy up! Lol    |

they look great! I want a natural(ish) one too. I have big branches from a bush in my garden, dont know what they are tho. Is there any way to make them safe by washing or stripping the top layer off or something? They have little white flowers on in summer but i'v pulled off all the little branches that sprout flowers, its just the big brown ones left. Any ideas?x

The plants were an absolute bargain! I got them from Derby market, they're over 4ft long and were £3.99 each!

Next time I go I'll get some for the shop . The plants in reptile shops aren't even half the size and they're 3 times the price!! |

It's just a piece of cork bark that I've wedged in - hopefully I've got some more coming over the weekend, I want some tubes. I love natural type set ups but as Jen said the plants tend to get stripped! Lol

it looks incredible! But think of all the fun they will have! try putting other things in like fleecy strips and alternitive beddings so when they decide to go on a bedding hunt, they will be semi distracted from pulling too many leaves off? |

A bedding hunt ... lol! Suggies are ace! They're not complete yet so I'll make sure there's plenty of bedding options. I wanted to avoid the fleece if possible, we do have some bamboo growing insanely quickly now so a regular supply of fresh bamboo canes with leaves (completely free from chemicals) would be nice. |

looking good marie, more of a ball ache to clean out than pulling out a tray and changing the paper though. i get plants like that from Dunem mill?? think thats what its called. they are in my crestie and gargoyle vivs and my gliders cages and theres a few different types for a similar price to what you paid.
