Right I am fed up with having to try and remove poop from plants. Its not so bad if its fresh but if it dries over night its awful. Even after soaking in water I have to get tweezers to try and remove it. I feed my corns big meals less often so when they go boy do they go. I have just witnessed Stan pooping all over his plants/vines. I am sure he does it on purpose. I have just watched him come out of his hide go on top of his table and with his bum hanging off the edge he takes aim and lets go all over his ivy vine, not for the first time I might add. If its not this he sits ontop of his cold hide amonst the plants and poops all over them. So has anyone got any pics of a corns viv without the use of plants? All my vivs have plants in and I just can't imagine a viv without them.

Suppose the only way around it is excessive use of vines, cork bark hides etc. Look a bit barren tho?

Mine always manages to poop in the corners so its not to bad lol.

My Vambo has just shed overnight and left a Great Dane sized present for me. Thankfully he had the decency to use the cat litter tray for its intended purpose. I have it lined with aspen and he normally uses it like a dog basket. Currently he's draped over the logs at the far end of the viv waiting patiently for a refill.

Maybe send Stan to live with me for a while. Our 3 take great delight in holding on until I pick them up, then happily poop all over me
I'd be glad to wash it off the plants

if they poo like clockwork you could always take the plants out then put them back in once they've done their business. that might be too much faffing about though

Surplus military camo nets.

You have to wash the heck outa them to get the chems off before use but it cleans up nice.

Heck you can even toss it in the washer with a load of towels.
