They are fake. A tortoise will try and taste them but will usually spit it out and that's the end of it.

What's interesting about that setup is the plants are vines which are placed around the border of the enclosure to break the line of sight of the glass. It's an apealing and novel idea.

That's the same way I set up my geckos vivs... they're in exo terras... I use plants on the side walls and the exo terra background so they feel more enclosed and secure. It works well for the geckos so I don't see why it wouldn't for a redfoot.

It's a nice looking set up.

It actually works well for any terrestrial chelonian in and suitable sized enclosure.
