Default Gargoyle Gecko Viv

Does anyone have any thoughts on these?

15" Polyscia Bonsai Plants | Artificial Silk Bonsai Trees

Do you think it would be suitable in a viv?

I've decided to buy a couple of them to try out. If they are not suitable I'm sure I can find somewhere for them to stay. I was amazed to find them, all other artificial bonsai I've seen have been bigger and MUCH more expensive!

Anyone else receive their order. I queried the company about what they're made of this was the reply.

"The leaves are made of Polyester fibre. Polyesters are the most widely used man-made fiber in the world. Woven polyester fabrics are used in consumer apparel and home furnishings such as bed sheets, bedspreads, curtains and draperies. The trunks are constructed of Polyurethane, commonly abbreviated PU, and the leaf stems are made of Polyvinyl chloride commonly abbreviated PVC, a widely used thermoplastic polymer. I hope this information is helpful to you"

I don't think there will be any problems with any of these materials. I think to be on the safe side I'm going to add a touch of aquarium sealant to the joins to make sure the steel frame is sealed away and waterproof.

I received mine the other day - pretty quick delivery considering they're in Hong Kong! They seem fine materials wise, much like the other fake plants you would normally use. I bought a couple of the small trees, one of the bonsai (will probably just use that for juvies) and a fern. All very nice looking!
