Not to sure on the fern...
But welcome to the site. Is this Lance from Edmonton Reptile Forum? If so im the same Grimm that has been checking out your Viv build. And this is the site where I found the method using Habacrete if ur wondering about that aswell.

Haha I'm great...Just went and picked up a used 18x18x24 Exo for 60$ Gotta love Kijiji haha

You will like this forum a lot more then ERAS as far as Vivariums go...People actually seem to care about the quality and originality of thier enclosures here haha

Floridata: Polypodium polypodioides
Hi and welcome.
One of the great things about this forum is learning something new everyday.
Just recently in another thread the topic was about a dinosaur plant,also known as a resurrection fern.(selaginella lepidophylla)That's why using the latin names make indentification easier. They are certainly different plants for sure ! I don't know of any place that have it,but I did post the webite if anyone else is interested in knowing more about it.

Keep a piece of that aside for me if you're able to find it, Lance- I'd trade for that for sure.

Perhaps one of our fine friends from Florida will help us out when the weather gets better...

oops srry thinking of wrong fern... i was thinking of the selaginella which is also called resurrection fern

Hey guys thanks for the welcome to the board. Ya the selaginella lepidophylla is the wrong resurrection fern that im looking for. Its the Polypodium polypodioides that im wanting very badly.
