Plastic Plants - yes/no? and What kind?

[Joyce]

Hi there, I see lots of pictures with plastic plants in vivs.
What are the pros and cons of plastic plants?
Are these just the ones sold as plants for turtle and fish tanks?

Thank you in advance for your tips and advise.

They have plants in the reptile section. I don't see why not, just keep an eye on your beardie. Jace thought they were real plants and tried to eat them :roll:. If he doesn't try to eat them, then I don't see why not. I think they are more for decoration than actualy use, though some beardies do find a way to use them, clever little buggers

Sure ya can. Just make sure the different parts of the plant aren't small enough to ingest :wink:

I have one that I bought from my dollar store, my beardie loves it she climbs and lays on it rather then her basking rock a lot of the time and she's an adult too lol!

Havoc's enclosure has plenty of fake plants from the dollar store in there and he has never bothered trying to eat any of them. He too also likes to climb them. The ones in his enclosure are all stapled into the enclosure, so very sturdy and no tape or anything to harm Havoc. I just made sure to sterilize them before adding them to his enclose.
