Decorating your terrarium with plants creates a beautiful look.
But remember your reptile may chew and possibly ingest some of those plants. You can go with fake plants, but sometimes they ingest those too. Be cautious if you see those disappearing. And always check with your veterinarian if theres ever a change in appetite or behavior.
