Are these plants okay?

I just bought a Golden Pothos and a Little Gold Angel Ficus. Are either one of these okay in a crestie cage?

They should both be fine because cresties don't chew on leaves or stems. I have a pothos, an ivy, and a something I forget, and the pothos has done the best, by far.

Thank you!

You're welcome. :) I am looking forward to your getting your cresties. Do you have a target yet?

I use pothos.

I've just about got the temp cage set up - I need some climbing branches and I'm set. I've already bought some CGD and baby food. I always have fruit in the fridge and I need to buy some Gargolye diet. I know who I'm going to buy from. At the reptile show 2 weeks ago he had a crestie for sale. I wasn't ready to bring one home so I told him I'll take it if noone buys the little cutie. Otherwise he had 2 eggs still incubating. I'm going to email him later today. I belive they are flame cresties.

I'm sooooooo excited. I can't wait to be able to post my little one for all to see.

I don't know about your area, but around here the dollar stores almost always have bundles of garden stakes or bamboo that you can use to set up climbing branches pretty easily. I have one bamboo held in place by melted plastic from the soldering iron, and the rest just lean on it. Sounds like you're just about ready to play crestie-mama!

(On a related note, my cresties are getting ready to be much happier. My AC is supposed to be fixed tomorrow -- yay! Poor Sandiego leapt out of his enclosure onto Jessica and then from her onto the fan 3 times yesterday trying to cool off. We put some ice pops on top of the enclosure to try to cool it down, but it only took a couple of minutes to melt them each time.)

Thanks for the idea! I'd love to find some bamboo. If I can't find any at the dollar stores, any other idea where I might find some?

Thanks as always!

Can probably get some at Lowe's or Home Depot or if not there, a Garden supply store ^_^

Might be in the fencing section

Ahh. I would never have thought about the fencing section. Thanks!

Also, if not in the fencing section, could be in the area they have staking for plants with vines. Dunno what section that is, might actually be fencing also ^_^

Yup, they are frequently sold for plant stakes around here, but we have more bamboo growing here than anywhere outside Japan so I don't know if it's as available elsewhere. My guys are definitely fond of their bamboo and pothos.

Thank you both for the ideas!

Also, if you can't find bamboo, you can always get the wooden stake things, they are just as good and never seen them splinter.
