QuestionI own a veiled chameleon and a crested gecko. (in separate enclosures). The crested is in a exo-terra glass terrarium and the chameleon is in a 24 x 36 exo-terra explorarium. Both lizards need mid-high humidity and I would like to plant some ground cover in the bottom of the enclosures to help keep it up. Please let me know if there are any safe ground cover plants I can use. I tried the live moss but didn't have much luck with it. Thank you
AnswerHi Virginia,
The various tortoise sites are an excellent resource for safe plant information. I have linked several below that have lists of safe, edible plants. As far as houseplants, ferns are always a safe option for med-high humidity enclosures and spider plants do very well and are also safe.
