Can anybody tell me some red foot tortoise safe plants that I can add into my Rfs enclosure. Also what kind of substrate I would need to put down for the plants?
Indoor enclosureIndoor enclosure or outdoor?

Ok thanksAny plant you buy needs to be washed of it's dirt and placed out of reach until all possible chemicals used in and on it has disappeared. About 3 to 6 months. Pothos, Boston fern, hostas to name a few. If you can get them from someones yard that is chemical free or from a cutting, you can use them now at tortoise height.

Ok, thanksRepot the plants and place the pots into the Orchid bark
Most plants just don't do well. Between the insufficient lighting, trampling and nibbling. Be prepared to replace them regularly.
Most indoor enclosures with live plants (that I've attempted) have been complete failures. But Lyriopi and Spider plants can work. So can some ferns and Pathos
Go with cheap plants. Or maybe some native plants and figure it out as you go.Ok, thanks
