Despite having 13-15 plants (mostly succulents) in ZaRDoZ' enclosure already, I'm still having a problem keeping daytime humidity above 30% (Nighttime humidity is fine). Right now I'm spritzing 4-6 times a day, and it's a PITA. I've tried large water dishes/bowls and even sponges, but they're not working. I may have to resort to a fogger/mister, but I'd rather try more/different plants first, as he doesn't seem to mind/devour/destroy them as some lizards do.
Looking over lists of "safe" plants, I find Wandering Jew [WJ] mentioned quite often, which would be perfect for this situation, BUT... (Bwahahahaha)
Do you know how many species of plants are called/considered "Wandering Jew"?
~20 species of Callisia, ~75 species of Tradescantia, several species of Commelina, plus Saxifraga Stolonifera and Tinantia Pringlei, and who knows what else? :shock:
A couple of sites do specify Bolivian Wandering Jew (Callisia Repens), but Wikipedia cautions:
I'm also hesitant to assume which species of WJ are/aren't beardie-safe without further info/guidance.
Has anyone reputable knowledge or direct experience with specific species of WJ, or suggestion for a different (hopefully colorful) vine-like beardie-safe plant that will help raise the humidity?

...Of course beardies aren't dogs or cats, but it still gives me pause (no pun intended :roll: ).
