#Plants for #Reptile Enclosures
Reptiles (and #snakes!) love plants too.
In a #bioactiveterrarium /enclosure, plants can:
✨ Provide climbing & hiding spots for security
✨ Add aesthetic beauty to the setup
✨ Offer edible options for herbivores & omnivores
🌴 Tropical / Humid Setups (#geckos, snakes, anoles, tree #frogs, dart frogs)
Bromeliads
Pothos (durable climber)
Philodendrons
Creeping Fig (Ficus pumila)
Calathea / Maranta (Prayer Plants)
Ferns
Spider Plants
Peperomias
Tradescantia (Wandering Dude)
Orchids
🌵 Desert / Arid Setups
(#beardeddragons, leopard geckos, uromastyx, some snakes)
Haworthia
Echeveria
Sedum (Stonecrops)
Opuntia (Prickly Pear Cactus — edible pads/fruit!)
Agave (small, non-spiny types)
Aloe vera (moderation only)
⚠️ What’s safe for reptiles isn’t always safe for cats & dogs. For example, pothos and philodendrons are reptile-safe, but toxic to mammals.
Do any of you have reptiles?
