Is bay leafs good or okay for leaf litter I couldn't find much information on it any would be useful

Leaf litter can provide for great hiding spots which is likely to be attractive to many bearded dragons, assuming the leaves that are either beneficial for the bearded dragon or at least non toxic.
Issue with leaves includes hiding spots for invertebrate making it almost impossible to catch them. In addition cleaning will be problematic. Although the entire substrate can be replaced daily even if there is a ready source. Regardless it is something best confined rather than used over the entire enclosure.
Yeah I couldn't find any sufficient information anywhere I hope someone on here as something on it if not I wont bother with the bay leaves to play it safe but hopefully someone has some insight hereKarrieRee":1ty60j93 said:I really dont know -- some one else on here would haft to weigh in on that subject

All I've found is this from https://www.lizards101.com/what-can-bearded-dragons-eat-and-not-eat-safe-toxic-foods/#Can-bearded-dragons-eat-bay-leaves
Can bearded dragons eat bay leaves
No, bay leaves have not been tested for toxicity in bearded dragons, so don’t feed. And on top of it, bay leaves are rather tough so could also pose a choking hazard.
okay thank you I will stay away from them but I wasnt planning on feeding him them just leaf litter I'll just go with oak leaves or magnoliaMrSpectrum":2xhr5u1p said:As I posted in the other thread...

Not set on anything persay for leaf litter just already had some organic bay leaves which have a nice smell I'll just stick to what people have done and succeeded inclaudiusx":3decvw99 said:Hi there,
Since it's an unknown and no one really has an answer for you, I'd just stick to what people usually use in bioactive setups. Unless there is some reason you are set on bay leaves, I'd just go with what's already been tried and tested.

Beardies tend to taste/nibble on anything & everything in their enclosures, so IMO it's better to be safe than sorry. Anything & everything that goes in there (decor items, plants, substrates, paints/finishes, etc.) should be beardie-safe. :wink:Wickedpogana":2wifg02x said:I will stay away from them but I wasnt planning on feeding him them just leaf litter I'll just go with oak leaves or magnolia
