Plastic plants and LEDs

[chris-uk]

I've been using the ExoTerra plants for years now, they're perfectly safe. Consider that in the wild they slither over sharp edges of rocks, stones, sticks etc... So the relatively soft plastic isn't going to cause problems. One thing to watch with plastic plants is that the core is usually wire, and if you bend the stems too much it can push the wire out of the end, but I've not had this happen with ExoTerra plants.

As Steve says, if your LED strip is stuck inside the viv with a sticky tape strip, I'd look at either positioning it outside the glass or fixing in a way that doesn't risk the sticky surface being exposed. The LEDs won't hurt the snake in any way other than the sticky.

Thanks Chris, it's excellent getting that reassurance about the plants and LEDs

I'm gonna double secure the tape with some small secure fixings to make sure no stickyness for him
