I was just given a 125 gallon aquarium that I was planning on putting my beardie in. Can anybody recommend any live plants to go in a desert setup that wont puncture the beardie but can take some abuse? The dragon is only about 4" at the moment.
Oh....and don't worry about humidity, I have a big de-humidifier in the basement and the enclosure will have an under-tank heater on one side with a couple of mercury vapor lamps :).
 
Damn you Jason, you got that tank...

Look into some aloe its a desert type of plant that can take a beating. Or any flat soft spine cactus... Only problem you might find with these are since they are vegetation with lots of fluids the beardies might chomp into them.
 
Yep I got it!!:p:headbang2

As long as the plants aren't harmful, I don't really care.

Nice user name by the way, Marc just brought to my attention what it is if you look at it another way:D
 
Yeah, friends old license plate b4 he wrecked that car. Look for some prickly pears or something, since they produce fruit, though it takes some good watering and time, your beardies will have a source growing in their enclosure XD
 
I would prefer to avoid excessively spiny plants, like I said plants that won't puncture the dragon(s).

Or me now that I think about it:D
 
Thats why I said soft spine varieties. There are some species of cactus that have lanky spines, lankier then Marc. So the beardies are in no danger :D
 
Pothos works really well any where, just keep it misted. Another way to give your beardie fluids. And to make it easier ZooMed has that electronic mister, face it at the plant and just let it do its thing, plus it won't futz with the humidity.
 
To dry for that and I'm not going to mist it every day lol. Those zoomed misters aren't that good. I'm more interested in hardy succulents and cacti.
