Does anyone use these in their beardie home??? Are they safe to use??? I heard they can eat the little pieces that fall off the vines and it could cause them impaction promblems, is this true???

I don't use them for my bearded dragon but I do for my mountain horned dragon. I have never heard anything about dragons eating them but I guess on a very rare case it may happen. My MHD seems to absolutely love bouncing around in them but I can't see a beardy getting too much out of it since they do not climb as much.

I cant see large enoug peices coming off them that might do any damage. I would use them, and I will soon as I have a new cage. But I would suggest spraying them down with cleaner before using them.

Also, make sure you pick up the Largest size vine. Good luck, l;et us know how they like them.

Thanks for the info Will! Definately clean them before putting them up, I'm glad my wife handled that part on ours, I would have probably completely forgotten that step.

And Exo-Terra would thank you for recommending the Large size! (LOL!)

Haha, well I just don't see the small size being large enough. Even babies have the body width of a large vine, so they could lounge on them nicely. And larger beardies will need the strength.

But I am a Exo-Terra supporter. They have some very excellent products.

What kind of cleaner should I spay them with???

Not sure,

though I would put any disinfectant/antibacterial into a spray bottle and mist them all around.

oh ok, I just use a rag with anti bacterial soap and rub them so that all the unwanted dust and debris was off of them. Same thing as spraying, I guess, Thanks guys!!!
