Plants for decoration

CharlieP · 27-08-2013, 12:55 PM

So Ziggy's enclosure is looking a little bare so i wanted to make it a little more exciting.

Was thinking of adding the below plants to it. Can people have a look and confirm if they would be acceptable/Not poisonous. as he will probably try to eat them.....

The spider plant is fine, never heard of the first one though

I agree with the spider plant. They're so easy to grow on too. Once the plant gets big enough and starts to form little 'spiderettes', I detach them from the mother plant, pot them up and they soon grow.

Like Merlin, I've not heard of the other plant so I'm not sure if it'll be safe or not. I use aloe vera in my tables. My torts have the odd nibble and in the case of Tabitha, she devours the entire plant, but usually it makes a nice addition.

I also use Aloe, also opuntia cacti (you can even get spineless ones...)
