Message: <blockquote data-quote="Denny Dee" data-source="post: 45734" data-attributes="member: 1393"><p>I have never set up plants in any arid environment.  But, I would suggest you would need to find species that could survive on low water and humidity.  Avoid any plants that have thorns or sharp edges as they can harm the T's.    You can go with either sand or all cocoa in an arid environment.  So, the mix could be your own personal preference (or could be based off the plan'ts requirements.  Another idea would be to keep the plants potted and buried into the substrate.  Allows for easy maintenance and you could keep the optimal potting soil (chemical free so you may need to buy the plants from a pet supplier that specifies organic for reptiles) for each plant without sacrificing your T's substrate.</p></blockquote><p></p>
