So I have 5 breaded dragons and its about to be six. We do breed them but their cages are pretty much basic. We use the crushed walnut from Zilla as the substrate and have all the appropriate lights of course. And they all have large rocks and what not in their cage. We wanted to add to their cages because they absolutely love it when they go outside in their outdoor habitat. So if anyone could let me know what plants you use or know are okay to use with a breaded dragon. I have a ton of books but I just wanted to see if anyone uses plants in their tanks. Thanks a million.

Sorry for the misspelling...I was fighting off my cat at the same time as typing. Ive researched and read that was better than the sand. What type of substrate do you recommend?

No real, spiny, or prickley plants. They will destory any real plants. But if you want real plants, dracaena, Ficus benjamina, and hibiscus.Be sure the plants have not been treated with pesticides and the potting soil does not contain vermiculite, pesticides, fertilizer, or wetting agents. And need more info go to the website below.

BEARDED Dragons will usually destroy real plants that are put in their enclosures. Rocks and logs, etc are a better choice. Crushed walnut is not recommended as a substrate for beardies due to the high risk of intestinal impaction.

Bearded dragons are omnivorous and domestic beardies should be supplied with fresh greens daily. They will probably try to eat any plant they can eat in their enclosure; even if it might be poisonous to them. It's best to use fake plants.
Good luck. :)
