Anyone have live plants in their Vivs?

[Mofoya]

I was thinking it might be nice to keep some live plant/s in with my beardie and was wondering if any of you have any suggestions about what species would thrive and be safe (and look nice hopefully.) If you have any suggestions and/or pics please chime in!

I have two small potted kale plants at one end to provide some fresh food. I keep them watered but am sure to drain them well after each watering as to not increase humidity too much.

I don't right now, but I have succulents growing in one of my snake tanks and plan to add plants to the dragon tank when I'm done building the upgrade.

I'm planing mostly succulents (house leaks, sedum, aloe) peas and nasturtiums. What size is your tank? Other folks I've talked to had problems with plants getting trampled to death.

Right now I have a 20gal. The question came up because I'm planning the upgrade. I'm thinking about building a large two-part enclosure to house my beardie and my wife's sugar glider (isolated from each other of course.) I'd like to plan for what plants I'll be using before the build so I can give everybody the space and light they need.

I wouldn't mind getting a small plant to sit in the 20gal right away and then transfer to the larger space when it's built, but I don't want it to be crowded in there. He's already almost too big for that tank. I'm glad you mentioned plants getting trampled... That makes me think it'd be better to start with a larger plant that wouldn't get stepped on.

I'm thinking of doing some live plants so my beardie can have something to snack on. Definitely make sure whatever plants you pick are safe to be eaten!

Here's what I'm thinking of growing.
- Dandelions
- Clover
- Alfalfa sprouts
- Aloe Vera
- Wheat grass

They're all cheap enough so if they get trampled, I won't feel too bad about it.
