Question
Hey Diane. Got another question for you. What wild flowers and plants can I give my BD. And what can't I give him. Thanks for all your help on this! :)  

Answer
Hi Carson,
Since there is many plants that are and aren't safe, I like to give a link to the information so that you can bookmark it and refer to it over and over as needed.
With wild plants, 100% identification is a must!!!A few very helpful sites on what are and are not safe plants can be found at
http://www.anapsid.org/mainplants.html#toxic  

http://www.wildflowers-and-weeds.com/
here you will find links with pictures of various plants also...do keep in mind that this is a "human" page but helps to see pictures of plants.
With my iguanas, I offer them some wild grape leaves, wild violet flowers and leaves, wild strawberry leaves and flowers,plantain, (both broadleaf and narrow leaf), clovers, and a few others I am sure I have forgotten.  With these plants, I only offer a small amount on occasion in addition to their regular mix of the correct greens.
