I’m planning on growing potted plants in my boa enclosure both for beauty and to help support humidity. The substrate will remain aspen, plant soil will be used in rectangular pots along the edges. A 12 hour bright photo period will be provided.

***Are there any common soils and/or fertilizers that are potentially harmful to the snakes … anything to look out for?***

Can you please recommend what soil to use, how to set it up, etc…

Can you recommend specific plants that work well for this application?

Kind thanks in advance,

Leon
