I have two anoles. Right now I have ivy growing in the tank (water collects on the leaves really well) and a fake plant as well as some twigs.
I would love to take the fake plant out and have only real plants in there.
What plants are safe for the anoles? Preferably something they could climb on and possibly has flowers.
Any ideas?
Anoles are insectivorous, which would mean that the following list is recommended.
I’d personally recommend spider plants and ficus….both will provide great climbing paths for your little guys!
Where the reptiles and amphibians do not eat the vegetation, some plants that are often recommended for terrariums include:
Pothos
Spider Plants
Bromeliads
Snake Plants (Sanseveria sp.)
Ficus
Dwarf Schefflera
Orchids
Peperomia
Ponytail Palms
African Violets
Melissa Kaplan has also assembled a more extensive list of plants suitable for terrariums, which can give you a good starting point (again, for non-herbivorous species).
