I have tried 3 times putting plants in my Leo’s tank and here’s what I’ve decided. Don’t get flat plants, plants that they can walk on. My leo has trampled and killed to many plants to count. I’ve had luck with jade, aloe, haworthia, and just taller succulents in general hope this helps some people so your gecko doesn’t kill a ridiculous amount of plants like mine

@leopardgeckotalk 4 года назад

Thanks for letting me know! I only currently have 2 little plants. I'm going to buy more once I've done all the landscaping :)

@tortoisetarzan 4 года назад

With the Jade plant it’s 100% safe for reptile because of their slower digestive system, which cats and dogs don’t have. I have multiple in my BioActive tortoise enclosure and he occasionally nibbles at them and there’s never been a problem! Edit: Also with the air plants for an Arid enclosure get more thicker leaved Air plants and less leaves as well because they don’t require as much humidity/ water. In my BioActive lined day gecko enclosure I have 4 air plants which have thin and more leaves! And they are doing great!

@leopardgeckotalk 4 года назад

Ah that makes sense, thanks for clearing that up :)

Right now it’s all just fake plants and I’d love to eventually replace them all with real ones.
