Artificial vines

Which brand of the artificial vines holds it's shape the best, and where is the best place to buy about 60 feet or so? I have the sealant for the cut ends which stops the rust. I am looking for various sizes.
Thanks for your help.

i think only bio vine sells by the foot, in 50 foot rolls.. two sizes.
I'm into the flukers bend a branch right now, as its cheap, and stiff, but it doesn't do tight curves well.
 
I'm using the Exo Terra Jungle vines currently, but to my knowledge it only comes in 6' lengths and 3 different thicknesses.
 
The Flukers vines, if they are the kind of smoother rubbery light brown kind that has fake "graining" to them, are pretty horrible quality in my experience.

They just fall apart after a while. They really can't take the moisture in a cham cage.

I like the Bio-Vines as well.
 
Electrical wire, as is used to wire your house, makes a great fake vine. Entirely positionable, easy on their feet, easy to clean, get it any length you want. I combine different thicknesses and colours of electrical wire, along with fake vine bought from a pet store, Exo Terra Jungle vines in different thicknesses.
 
Check you local craft store for rolls of the vines.
You can get 50' rolls for like 15$.
They may not be as "nice", but they serve the purpose.
They look very similar to a bio-vine.

Oh, that is a fantastic idea! I have never noticed them before- we only have a Micheal's here and they are very expensive. Do you have a specific store name that has the vine?

I dont get them by 50ft rolls, but i buy them from walmart and they come in a 12 foot strand for 5-7 dollars and they work great. Of course I still have pothos wrapped around most of them and dangling off it but it holds moisture on the leaves and I generally see moose drinking off the fake leaves more than the pothos.

Just go to the crafts isle and look for the fake flowers and you'll find the vines in that area.

We don't really have Walmarts around here. Sounds like a great deal, though! Lucky you.
 
Pretty informative, insightful responses. This is my first post, and you ALL were very helpful. Once I have my habitats completed, I will post the pics.
