Help and advice on shopping for: Vines and Branches

A reptile jungle gym

Many reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates love to climb, it’s instinctual for them, so reptile keepers must give them plenty of climbing options to keep them stimulated. That’s why we created the vines and branches range, filled with fantastic products to keep your pet happy and healthy.

What are vines and branches?

Vines and branches or either naturally occurring or artificial structures are designed to mimic the vines and branches found within an arboreal habitat. While they make fantastic decorations, these products are far more than ornamental, they are critical to the stimulation and exercise of your pet. Arboreal climbers like Chameleons, Geckos and some snakes need an enclosure filled with these pieces to keep them free of stress and well-exercised.

Why should I buy vines and branches?

Vines and branches are a key part of any arboreal enclosure, however, they can be added to any enclosure to great effect. These products make fantastic decorations as they add a vertical dimension to your enclosure. You’ll be surprised how many non-arboreal species will enjoy a climb as well, particularly if it’s fairly low to the ground, as it plays into their instincts to explore.

What are the main types of vines and branches?

Vines and branches come in a wide variety of types and styles. It’s important to understand how much weight each type of vine or branch can bear and to only buy items that will comfortably support your pet’s weight if they are going to climb on it.

What should I look for?

When buying vines and branches it can be a good idea to try and match the items you buy to the natural habitat of your pet. Beyond that, pick the items you like the look of and let your creativity shine, by combining vines and branches with hides and caves, natural decor and artificial decor you can create a spectacular terrarium in no time.
