can I put plants real ones in my beared dragons tank?

Artificial plants creat a natural looking environment for your pet reptile or Amphibian. Plastic or silk plants can add a splash of colour to the vivarium or terrarium and in combination with other vivarium decor help create a natural look to best show off your reptiles. Pets Parade stock plastic and silk vivarium plants from Hagen and underworld in many natural looking styles. Artificial reptile plants can be easily washed and disinfected to help maintain a hygienic vivarium and do not need the specialist lighting that may be necessary to grow real plants in the vivarium.

Branches for climbing and basking under the secondary heat source should be secure. These branches should be of various sizes and not ooze pitch or have a sticky sap; oak works very well. The branches should be as wide as the width of the Bearded Dragon. Boards covered with indoor/outdoor carpet also make good climbing posts. Flat-bottomed, smooth rocks are a good addition to the habitat, and can help wear down the toenails, which in captivity, must be clipped often.

Reptiles like a place where they can hide. This could be an empty cardboard box, cardboard tube, or flower pot. The hiding place should provide a snug fit and should be high in the enclosure. If your Bearded Dragon does not use its hiding place, try a different one or move it to a different location.

Appropriate plants in the enclosure can provide humidity, shade, and a sense of security. They also add an aesthetic quality to the enclosure. Be sure they are nontoxic. Dracaena, Ficus benjamina, and hibiscus are good choices. Be sure the plants have not been treated with pesticides and the potting soil does not contain vermiculite, pesticides, fertilizer, or wetting agents. Washing the plant with a water spray and watering it thoroughly several times to the point where water runs out of the bottom of the pot, should help remove toxic chemicals, which may have been used. Keeping purchased plants in a different part of the house for a while before putting them in the enclosure will also be helpful.

No.

I'm sure your beardie might like them, i am presuming you will check the toxicity of anything you want to put in, but the problem i think you are going to encounter is whether the actual plants like living in the vivarium!

Chances are things like basil are just going to wilt and die asap in such a hot and dry environment.

Plus any bugs in the vivarium will just destroy them.

Don't use artificial plants though... sorry, but they are dangerous.

For "plantlife" in my vivarium i use untreated dry wheat that i got from my local florist. Then i stuck it into a substance called Milliput to make it stand upright.

My beardie leaves it alone as it is brown in colour and it just sits there... the bugs still have a go every now and then :P

why not it probally has REAL plants where it lives in the wild

be prepared, they will eat them

They'll eat them in about a day!!
