    Spiderwood currently in SA is hard to come by...closest thing you might get is grapevine?

    i also saw that wood they use in bird cages, looks like grapevine, only harder, but it doesn't do well under water, starts smelling like sulphur pretty quick

    Try fish 4 africa in Bredell... They always have all sorts of wood. Think I got some type of grapevine from Namibia while ago.

    I have some proper vine, doesn't look like it's rotting but it hasn't been long so far. I think braaiwood vine from the cape can work, I'm going to try some

    I'm trying my piece of hard grape. Have to reglue the top part I cut off then will soak and use, the top was in a smaller tank so has to dry and shrink again. The rest was in my snake cage, dry
