Perfect Live plants for Mourning gecko(Lepidodactylus lugubris) tank

renster · #1 (**permalink**) 12-15-2009, 02:18 PM

My tank is 12 x 12 x 14 inches, I have an exoterra Poly background in it and a fake malaysian fern plus a few fake branches and some other little decors.

Im looking to place moss into the tank and some other live plants and was wondering what species/type of plants and More Importantly Moss would suit my tanks conditions.

They are:

60 - 70% Humidity

20 - 30 C depending on whether the heating is on.

Has no lightin at the moment but I will be putting in roughly 6 small LED blue or red lights for night viewing and i suppose a very very weak UVB(Any suggestions on UVB strength due to tank size??)

In my viv, which isn't too humid, I have umbrella plant, pothos, wandering jew, a hibiscus bush, a snake plant, and an african violet. Really, in my case, I wan't putting anything too delicate in here, because geckos love to destroy things. I've never kept mourning geckos, though, so I don't know. But I was going for hardy here.
