I am thinking of using thornless Bramble/Blackberry in my project to come.. Good or bad idea?

Excellent idea!!! I have observed arborea in the wild many times and nearly always found them on R. fruiticosum. Although i would reccomend thornless varieties for safety!!!

Yeah, when/if you find arboreas here in Sweden (Skane), you often find them in "Blackberryshrubbery". I was going for the thornless variety. The Blackberry is supposed to stand in the background, but I need something that makes good shade in the front and in the roof. Suggestions?
Maybe having some sort of Clematis on the outside, that clings over the vivarium..

I have a big passion flower plant growing up some chicken wire along one wall for shade I am hoping that when I get some Hyla they will use it as a aperch. I am hoping it will grow right up over the roof. It grows very quickly too so is ideal. BTW most DIY stores have sales on now so Greenhouses can be picked up relativly cheap. Mine cost £100 last year before Christmas.

That is very cold, a small greenhouse heater on a thermostat though would make sure you could grow (and keep) what ever you liked in your greenhouse. I have a greenhouse heater in my monkey house and it keeps them toasty  |
