I was at Petsmart the other day looking for decor and I saw the bonsai tree. These things look great. The're hollow so the reptile can use it as a hide spot or climb on it to bask. I was about to buy it when I noticed a little string, felt like a spider web kind of. Then I looked at it some more and noticed more and more of it. Looks and feels like a hot glue strand.

Have any of you used this product? It could be something silicone, but I can't imagine putting something with hot glue under a basking light. I wouldn't mind getting one, but I'm not gonna be the first to find out that its hot glue when I see a big glob of it that dripped onto my savanna.

Ive never heard of it or seen it

I know which one you are talking about. Being the greenery part look like it is made of soft plastic, I would not put it directly under the basking light, but you could always put it on the cooler side.

:D I'm smiling because I have no idea whats going on!

What you are seeing is most likely leftover debris from the manufacturing process. They inject hot plastic into a mold and as the mold pulls away the little strings of hot plastic stretch out.
Sort of like strings of hot cheese on a pizza!

But I'm with Marsha. I would only put it on the cool end of the enclosure never under a heating device. It would melt.
