The Exo Terra Scindapsus is a very naturalistic broad leafed plant, ideal for a tropical terrarium. Not all terrarium conditions allow live plants to grow or thrive. Some areas are too hot or too dry for live plants whereas others might require different light requirements, or simply can be eaten by the reptiles. The overlapping leaves provide a protected resting place for tree frogs, geckos and other forest dwellers. The leaves can be placed over water to stimulate breeding behavior in various species of tree frogs, such as red eyed tree frogs.
