[QUOTE="Teamonger, post: 306068, member: 9511"] Not sure how to make dead leaves more attractive. Perhaps attempt to add a mixture of dead and green (fake or real plants) to offset the dreary? Or perhaps make/buy some fake mushrooms to add a bit of color and fun? Or change up the substrate, colored sand, moss, or anything that is not just adding more brown to the picture? I have a crazy plan for a ghost enclosure that involves a twine dream catcher along with all the dead leaves. Its going to be a while before I actually have any ghosts now that my last attempt failed but it will happen and I'm going to go full artist crazy on that habitat hehe. When it comes to dead foliage I tend to use only oak branches. Oak trees are way more unwilling to give up their leaves then most trees so in the fall after all the other trees are bear you can find oaks still decked out in dead leaves. The plus to that is that the leaves are attached hard core to the branches and you shouldn't need to fiddle with any hot gluing of leaves or the like. [/QUOTE]
