Hello,

I am getting ready to move my ETB into his permant cage. He has been in a rubbermaid. What type of plants to you guys use in your cages for them. Its still a big cage for him so I figure the more hiding the better.

Thank you

Jeff

in my atb cages. I have branches set up in various places in the cages, and the vines drape over them to provide cover, and to make the cage attractive.

Pothos vines are hardier than most plants and you can get them cheaply at any garden center, usually in hanging baskets. If they start to look a little "raggedy", get a second plant and rotate the first one out for a month or so on a covered porch if temps permit, or a sunny window. They like humidity, so a little misting helps.
