    Where to get fake plants?
    For those of you who have cresties: where do you reccommend getting fake plants? All of my local pet stores only stock this big ugly bendy-stick thing and nothing else.

    some people just get dollar store type fake plants but i don't like those because the leaves are stiff but still flimsy (not sure how that works), don't clean as well and the vines that the leaves are on are just straight--they don't keep their shape when you bend them.

    i always order mine online from petsmart: http://www.petsmart.com/global/produ...N=2030049&Ne=2. for some reason they are half as much on their site as in their store, and that's the cheapest i've found them anywhere online. even with shipping you save from what you would pay in the store. i don't get it, but i usually stock up and buy a bunch at a time whenever i need more.

    maybe i'm too picky but i MUCH prefer the flukers vines to anything else for crested cages and for wrapping around any kind of vine or perch. i usually get the pathos--nice big green leaves (the ivy leaves are too small i think), and the boys don't have to worry about pink or purple accents on their leaves. :P

    Try some of these exo terra plastic plants with suction cups, around here (jersey) they cost $2.49 each and my cresties love them and they are easy to clean. :) http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...g?t=1173149934

    Be careful with some of the dollar store plants, as the ones with wires are not sturdy and the wire can become exposed.

    And thats why I like the all plastic exo terra plants, and so easy to clean. just dunk them in a bucket of hot soapy water with a small shot of bleach in it. rinse off in sink or tub and your good to go! :P
