Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Air plant (Tillandsia)?
I have finally decided to make fake rocks to turn my avid climber's tank into a cave. I had seen some time ago photos of a cave setup decorated with air plants. Seems like a great idea since they don't need earth to grow nor too much humidity... but I can't find that thread any more and I can't remember if there are some dangerous Tillandsias? Obviously I will avoid the ones that have sharps cuting ends but should I worry about poisoning or can I pick any that look pretty?

Im not sure if they are poisonous or not, but the main concern is really sprays and pestisides and what all. Make sure the ones you get are clean. I have had these in my tanks before, without any problems other than me forgetting to water them. Plants are really not in the Leo diet, so the chances of one taking a tase is pretty unlikely. Just do watch for the points.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of pesticides and fertilizers. If I buy some I will check first with the nursery that the plants are "clean".

Go to Blackjungle.com.They have a big selection of non-toxic plants. Tillandsias are non-toxic, just make sure you mist them frequenty if you live in a dry environment.

Thanks, I will try that website.
My mom has some Tillandsia in Corsica that she dips in water once every 1-2 week. The environment there is as dry as here so I guess I can do the same when I take everything out of the tank to clean once a week.

air plants
Yes, 'air plants' make a lovely addition to a desert vivarium. Just remember to attach the plants to the driftwood/rocks with non-toxic aquarium sealant, and not any kind of glue.

Especially from a HOT GLUE GUN! The 1st time I picked some up the person I bought from told me to hot glue them to driftwood... not even a week later it was practically dead.

Okay I will run away from hot glue guns (sounds dangerous anyway...) and other glues and use aquarium sealant.
Thanks for the tip.
