Hi all. I am new to the forums and I searched this topic but didn't find quite what I was looking for.
I was wondering if anyone had experience with certain plants in garter snake terrariums. A lot of people just talk about mites, and I understand that it is a problem that should be dealt with, but with this post I'd like to know what types of plants people use in their garter terrariums.
I am working on a new terrarium and want to get it set up before I get the snake. I have found a lot of helpful info at http://www.stormthecastle.com/terrar...ium-plants.htm and wondered if anyone could concur with his plant choices. You may also have seen the terrarium article in this month's issue of Reptiles magazine. Based on that info, I have chosen a pothos and an arrowhead. I also picked up a pilea mollis (aka moon valley) because it is also a low light house plant. Finally, I want to get an herbaceous plant such as basil or mint.
It seems to me that a garter won't really bother the plants, just climb on them, and for that reason there should be a lot of latitude in what I can put in there. Any suggestions? Glaring problems? Thanks in advance.
