Exo Terra Boston Fern Terrarium Plant, Small

The bottom of the leaves where the wires meets the clay bottom was not sealed correctly and ended up rusting a lot. My gecko pooped on it and it was not easy to clean off. The fern leaves do bend so you can arrange it any way you like.

Great addition to any cage! This plant is so very amazing! It looks so real. Easy to position the leaves into any shape. Love this plant!

Literally pieces apart

Just as pictured

Looks really pretty in my ball python’s terrarium, very natural.

Fine

Overall, this plant is great. I use it for my leopard gecko because she likes to hide among/under plants etc. My only complaint is that the material the leaves are made out of sheds a lot. Sort of like how a Christmas tree’s needles fall off...? And I get worried that my gecko will lick some of it up so I have to keep a watchful eye out to make sure she doesn’t. But, for the most part it’s a good plant.

I just brought home a baby bearded dragon after many years of owning leopard geckos. So owning reptiles is not a foreign concept to me, and I enjoy putting together a proper tank and closure that both is attractive and highly functional and enjoyable for the reptile. I really thought when I first purchased this plant that it fit the bill perfectly. You can see from the first picture that it is very beautiful, expands well takes up a lot of space, provides plenty of branches for the beardie to lay on and hide within, and gives excellent shade. Unfortunately, it’s perfection was very short-lived. After less than one month in the tank, the heat lamps have begun completely disintegrating the plant. This is shocking, because this plant is advertised as being a terrarium plant, which means it will come in to contact with various different light set ups, most of which contain a heat source or two. The plant constantly sheds teeny tiny “Christmas needles” (see pic), which seem to be irresistible to my little guy. He gets confused and then eats them, which led to an impaction. Thankfully, it was able to be cleared without a visit to the vet. You can see in my close-up photo how the edges of the leaves completely fray and essentially melt away. This plant is not at all safe if your terrarium requires an intense light set up. it can kill your lizards; buyer beware!

looks great. easy to clean. large plant.

Excellent quality, realistic, highly recommended.
