Welcome to The Bio Dude!

A handpicked selection of The Dude's best desert plants for bearded dragons. The plants included in the kit are meant for your dragons to eat, climb, perch on, and will thrive in the BioDude Terra Sahara bioactive substrate.
Bearded dragons, in general, are very active, robust lizards that will readily enjoy foraging and working for their food if the challenge is present. These plants can handle the dragon's weight and nails, and can be eaten to a stump, only to regrow if properly maintained. All plants are grown 100% organically with no pesticides or herbicides.
Included in this kit is:
Opuntia cacti are naturally high in calcium and minerals, and also have a high moisture content. which makes them a great snack for your dragon. With their thick protective skin it will take your dragon some work to get this cacti down to the stump. These cacti are spineless and 100% harmless to your dragon. *Please Note: Opuntia plants are shipped bare root, wrapped in paper and packaged individually when ordered.
Elephant feed plants are another great addition to your dragon's enclosure. Growing very quickly with proper lighting, these plants can grow sideways, upwards, downwards, and creep over your woods, giving your vivarium a deeper look. Not only are they 100% safe if ingested, these plants are high in moisture. They are also very sturdy and, once established, can become small shrubs for your dragons to rest and bask on.
Aloe is a great addition to your vivarium as they are very easy to grow, can handle a beating, and are 100% safe if ingested. Aloe has been known to cause the stool to have a slightly higher moisture content due to its fibrous consistency.
It is also recommended to plant more healthy edibles in with your dragons. Mint, basil, oregano, rosemary, hibiscus, kale, and lettuce are all examples of plants you can establish in your vivarium to give your terrarium a nice clean smell while providing natural food and enrichment for your dragon (these additional plants may require different moisture/watering levels than those included in this kit).
