Hi, just joined and am looking forward to contributing. I am planning to build a new enclosure for my son's bearded dragon. I would like to include some real plants in the enclosure if recommended. Can anyone advise me as to what plants if any are safe to be included in the enclosure? Thank you!

I have seen this attempted many times, but is an idea that is generally soon abandoned. While it sounds like a great idea aesthetically & in theory, is not the best of ideas in practicality.
Just my $.02 on the subject
- Raises the humidity in the enclosure
- The soil base to plant them in is proves to be a very high impaction risk, should it be ingested
- BDs like to dig, uprooting the plants &\or creating a mess.
- BDs are likely to eat & destroy the plants
- Provides more hiding spots for feeders
- Difficult to clean should the BD soil them, they aren't very particular where they do their job at times

I went to Michaels Craft store and bought some silk philodenfron. Looks good and gives some greenery.
