HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera) plant/flowers

[Casket_Case]

Probably none of my business, but there is a saying, "If you can't take the heat, stay out the kitchen"

Just throwing this out, I recently became an ISA certified arborist, and work in a nursery, we are not scientist but we rarely use common names,
a common name is whatever you want to call plant, and anybody can come up with a common name

It is none of your business
I’m not letting criticism keep me off a forum. It’s not I can’t handle the heat I’m saying get off my back.

Well, I hope all of this has helped @arnau666 decide whether or not to use the plant. It seems that it might only be the berries to be concerned about...so if you use it you might want to just make sure to pick them all off.

I don’t think honeysuckles produce berries. But they’re really cool vines and like water. They typically grow in clay so their ground is waterlogged for days sometimes. I’d imagine they’d do great in a chameleon enclosure

Ahhh that’s odd, the ones we have wild in Georgia make little like puffballs and the seeds are tiny and blow away. I’m still not sure what kind I’ve seen here. They’re all very similar.

Does anyone use this vine plant ? any advice if this is hard to grow in cham enclosure conditions ?
its on the safe list so i guess its fine if they eat its flowers ?!

My seek ap just idenified it as Japanese Honeysuckle. States it is not poisonous and used in many chinese medicines.

Well since you replied to my comment, you made it my business.

Criticism obviously bothers you, The person that is pissing you off, 99% of the time speaks facts, so for “facts” to bother you and makes you feel attacked in any way just shows us how open you’re to Criticism.
Speak facts not emotion.
Have a wonderful day

Careful... that may be construed as "pop[ping] out of nowhere and [finding] small things ... to make a big deal out of."

You’re really pissing me off. Any time I legit say anything you come out of the woodwork and criticize my every move. I’ll go to an old post and you pop out of nowhere and find small things I say to make a big deal out of. I’m tired of it. Muck off. I get occasionally tuning in to help but you repeatedly pop up to criticize. That’s not helpful.

You're young and still naive about a lot of things. That's not a criticism or a crime—it's a place we've ALL come from—to a person.

Part of what many folks here try to do is keep factual information as accurate as possible, and share differing opinions based on their knowledge and experience. That's not criticism either. I suppose it could be called informal mentoring. If I do have a differing opinion or take a different position, I usually have a citation (or several) to support it.

I'm sorry if you've taken some things the wrong way, and as I've explained before (and evidenced by others who've now responded), what I write is not intended for an audience of just one. If it were, I would have responded privately.

This is a public forum; anyone can "pop out of nowhere" and contribute. If you're not looking for correct information, feedback, or validation, why post/ask?

NB You always have the option to ignore (block) me or anyone else.

I put a Lonicera vine in Van’s enclosure today. I wish I had a video but he started climbing over to it, I’m still situating it and trying to zip tie the far end so it doesn’t fall and he’s already on it making it difficult to move and man did he get angry when I tried to move him.
