Leeherps,



A good choice for vines would be any of the philodendron species. Most of them tend to be creeper/vine type plants that will grow and attach themselves to rough bark surfaces. They also tend to grow large leaves when conditions are good and for the most part are quite hardy. You can also easily propogate them by pinching off sections with a few leaves and placing them in a glass jar full of water in the window. A couple weeks and they're growing roots. At that point you can plant them in soil - this gives you more plants to place in your enclosure. Another nice philodendron is Philodendron selloum or the Finger-leaf Philodendron. The leaves can be big and impressive and it tends to grow outwards making a really bushy growth all the while kind of extending itself along as it grows, creating this neat trailing stem that runs across the ground, up trees, etc. It also sends out aerial roots which look neat.
