I'm working on making a bioactive enclosure (a few) for African fat tailed and Leopard Geckos. Being a bit of a cheapskate and liking to grow plants from the grocery store... I have some plants I can't find on lists of toxic or non-toxic to ask about.
I have a ginger plant (grown from a rhizome) With good sunlight, and such, it's a nice background--I was thinking AFT or ball python enclosure.
Pineapple plant (I figure for an AFT)
Scallions and other allium family (I got mixed results for this...)
mint (Chocolate mint for the AFT?)
Hirt's Palm AFT
Cuban Oregano (It's not oregano--Plectranthus amboinicus)
Aloe Vera (Leopard Gecko?)
Spider plant
Oat, barley and rice plants (I got a few to grow.)
I saw morning glories are toxic to reptiles, so I'm guessing sweet potato plants might be also since they are related?
Of course I have the usual plants that usually go in...
3 types of pothos (Silver, golden and satin).
Snake plant
Spineless Prickly Pear
2 types of Jade Plant
But I thought I could mix it up a bit and give a few more options to hide with and visual height for them to climb on.
Also, I tried for hours to find what plants are naturally in their habitat, but couldn't find any listed in their natural range for both AFTs and Leos.
