Plants that can be kept with a uromastyx?

HybridHerp · 01-26-2013, 09:07 PM

You know those plants that have air roots...the ones that seem to need very little water and can be grown directly on wood.....would plants like that work with a uromastyx?

The idea just popped into my head, so I haven't had the time to look into it, but I'm wondering others opinions.

not sure. I have seen them in their native habitat an to be honest, I have no idea what they were eating. looking at what was available to them, it seems they can eat some tough plants.

Tillandsia. Yes I'd have thought they'd be fine.

They tend to do best in humid situations.
