Good plants for Uroplatus

[Jazzgeckos]

I would personally like to know more about good plants for leaf tailed geckos, but i would also like to name some that I've heard, Dieffenbachia ( I'm fairly sure the roots are toxic but a friend recommended ) Bromeliads, Ficus, Cryptanthus sp, yucca plants, bamboo. Substrate, Grey lichens, Sphagnum peat moss, Sphagnum moss, Orchid moss. These are just some i heard, i figured I'd throw some names out, however none of them have thick branches, does anyone know some that do?

I use Ficus with some of my smaller Uroplatus, then I use thick oak branches and bamboo for bigger species, like henkeli. I also use pothos vine in some cages, just to boost humidity and give it a more natural look.

Thanks Derek

Be carefull with those yucca and lookalike plants, the edges of these plants have little spines that combine in a rather sharp edge.

My favourites are ficus, schefflera, pothos and dracaena. All safe and sturdy plants by my knowledge.

My fimbriatus like a plant called Monstera deliciosa (I think I spelled that right). It's a big plant. The stalks aren't really thick, but they are pretty sturdy and my geckos will often spend days sleeping on the plant instead of the walls.

I use ficus, schefflera, pothos, minature bamboo, as well as mosses and lichens from my yard. The minature bamboo works particularly well for juvinile phants. I also use a few silk plants in some of the vivariums. I also include various dry leaves scattered about the bottom.

My guntheri's like Zamioculcas zamiifolia. It's the only plant they use so far.
My lineatus love Dracaena and Hedychium (ginger). They almost sleep every day on the dracaena leaves or on the ginger stems or leaves. Hedychium flavum (or flavescens) grows in Madagascar.

Ahh, i'm kind of a noob to plants i'm not so sure what you mean by oak branches? wouldn't the oak branch die?
