Spider Leaves!!
Aw heck yeah! I bought this vine to chop up and use for my tarantula enclosures, and they're great!I cut off the clusters, sometimes I'll chop off just one or two and use them. They make great decorations and add some naturalism to my setups.So far one has left them alone and the other has yanked them out of the ground to cover their burrow. It's amazing to watch them interact with them the way they would with real plants in the wild. 10/10, would buy again.Picture: Ivy is in the bottom right corner only.NOTES FOR BUYERS: There is thin wire in the "main vine" to add some posability, and it extends up into the main stem of most of the leaf clumps. On my vine, the "beginning" of the vine was capped with a leaf clump, but a good inch of wire is just sticking out the far end. If you're using this for herps, you might want to cut that off or cap it with something.I do not use the suction cups, so I have no opinion on how well they do or do not work. They are two small suction cups with wire hooks. They are not attached to the vine, so you can stick them wherever and drape the fine over them.

I got this for my leopard gecko to act as a cover for a Zoo Med Mesh Reptile Hammock Small, 14-1/2 Inch I had also gotten him. This vine works super well for that! I have seen him out walking around his tank much more frequently since getting this for him. Since leopard geckos are not arboreal I can not say how well this would be for a larger climbing species, but my guess is not very well unless you purchased better/more suction cups to hold the weight.
Some Ok very green vines for decoration

Over all these are ok, but you might be able to do better looking elsewhere if you want a super leafy vine. If you are considering them for a leafy cover in a smaller tank they work perfectly fine. I'm actually pretty disappointed with the color, I ordered these specifically because of how purple the photo was, but my gecko seems to like them and the greener than expected leaves look ok in the tank anyways.
One note, these do get more leafy if you spread out each cluster of leaves. My 2 photos are a before spreading them & after spreading them comparison. Same vine in the same position but you can see how much of a difference it makes. Leaves are spread 3-4in apart, stretched out this is not a very leafy vine but folded up like I have it's more than enough leaves as you can see.
PROS:
-Very long, it's 6ft
-Easy to bend, I curled mine mostly into one corner of the tank easily
-Good quality leaves; no strings fraying off the sides
-Provides tons of cover for reptile
CONS:
-Only 2 small weak suction cups - would not trust them to hold something more than 15g up
-Had to pinch suction cup wire closed around vine to even hold it up
-Is not the color advertised in the photo, this is very green with some purple in the middle (see photos)
-Not very realistic looking in person

I love this vine. You get a lot for your money and it lasts really well. I have it in both of my snake terrariums. It adds a pop of color and stands up to being climbed on and over. It doesn’t looks cheap or crappy like other vines either. I highly recommend if you are looking to add a bit of natural color to your reptile’s home.

Good quality but they have wires in them
Flavor Name: English IvyVerified Purchase
Good quality besides the strings of what seems to be hot glue, which doesn't seem safe if animals are going to be on it and could ingest it. There's also a wire in the center of the stem all the way threw so if your critter chews on things this isn't safe either. The leave are great and I like that you can pull them off, good quality thereHannahGood quality but they have wires in them
