What plants due you think I should plant in my indoor enclosure? I am totally hooked on my new little Greek hatchling however, I am quickly finding out no matter what I offer her even Mazuri diet moistened doesn't want it unless she can pick it fresh from her enclosure. Currently I have prickly pear cactus, red clover sprouts, aloe, some safe herbs, and kale but I don't think this is quite diverse enough diet for her. I even tried putting in Roses as well as rose of sharon flowers however, again doesn't want it. I think more then anything her size and the fact its a 55 gallon aquarium with a zig zagged slate road with level spots as well as plenty small hills she acts like she sees it as her whole world and tends to graze like she is in the wild. Any suggestions would be great! ty

That is the website i use to find out what i want for my enclosure. Something i would suggest, before you soak the muzuri crush it! power like, sprinkle it on top of the food you are feeding and then spray it down so it would stick and the muzuri gets soft. start off little... then slowly increase the amount you sprinkle. do this everyday! DONT CRACK! you'll need to get them use to it because in winter, the muzuri is one of the food you'll feed them unless you brumate. Hope this helps. also, POST PICTURES OF YOUR LITTLE ONE! =P

Oh, I keep putting it in there everyday. However, thus far unless it has roots she doesn't want it. LOL I really need to get some better pictures of the enclosure with her using her path which she does us until she find a plant that looks good. LOL I have finally started to crack and think I am going to add her calcium powder though to some of the plants maybe mix it some water and use as plant spray????
