plant list

Ozymandias · #1 01-17-2010, 09:53 PM

soo i've looked around and and looking for a list of plants (that might be coming might not in viv) that are safe for these guys or if that's to long a list of the harmful plants? i know alot of people use fake plants and real one like Pothos but i just can't bring my self to go with fake plants. so a list of whats safe or not would help other than that i have a pretty good idea on making the viv for them (it's a 20 gallon tall btw)

thanks alot

I don't think that anyone's done any extensive research as to what plants may or may not be toxic to A. felinis in particular. If you do a search of the forums, you're likely to find a list of what's safe for most geckos in general though. Try the search feature and see what you can come up with.

well i've sort of been doing that (just by going through the different forums) and i do have a general idea for crested geckos so i guess quite a few are the same. well i'll keep looking some more just though i would ask.

People are still studying basic felinus care and needs really. So I can't imagine you're going to find anyone that has put any extensive time into testing the toxicity of specific plants on them. Like I say, if it's generally accepted for most other geckos, it's likely to be fine for these guys. It's not like they eat the plants or anything. I've been keeping/breeding them for about 5 years now and not had issues with any plants. But I use fake plants and pothos just for ease of use. If you find something though, please do let us know.

Yep, this forum has by far the most extensive amount of info available on the web for these guys.

ya defiantly noticed them though the care for them actually seams pretty easy compared to alot of stuff. i have a few plants i'll be testing out that i have around for a while and will let you guys know what it ends up looking like. might also give people ideas for a natural show tank for these guys.

btw while i'm thinking about would a greatstuff back ground be harmfull for them for these guys because of there claws? just wondering my main idea it to use Coco fiber back ground but i have great stuff on hand and don't have coco fiber. the reason i ask it theirs alot of silicone and i fear them getting there claws stuck on it.

Coco fiber would be great for them to climb on. You make a good point about their claws being a possible issue with the "great stuff". Most people that use "great stuff" in their vivs cover it mortar of one sort or another though. In which case it would be hard and not be an issue with their claws.

well its the great stuff covered in coco fiber substrate held on by silicone works for my crestie but still with claws and all (i've had these guys crawl on me i know they don't give up) i'm a bit conserded and was wondering if any one had used this process before.

also might use tree fern panel
