Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I was looking through your post and when you say grow these plants in the chuck terrarium do you mean indoors? If so I would just forget it. It is a lost cause as these plants: creosote and nasturtiums, just will not grow inside. Also the MVB for reptiles are not good for plants. The UVB is not good for plant growth. In fact most glass/plastic for greenhouses is made to filter out UVB. Maybe you could grow them outside and just pick from them to feed the lizards.

I was originally trying to find plants that could either be grown inside or that I could mainly leave planted in large buckets and rotate them inside/outside. I was hoping to keep the plants in buckets and place them inside the enclosure two days and then leave it outside for a week or more. I wanted several plants so that each plant would get a long break in between rotation. Since my original plan is not possible I'll just have to do as you suggest and grow the plants outside (if I have any luck) and feed from them when possible. Next year I hope to have a large outdoor enclosure made and I'll have more options. Thnaks again for all of your help.

Thanks for that, Tom. That helps me, too. Of course I was more interested in growing them to feed anyway.
