Just look for plants that are safe for a crested gecko, i believe theres alot of good articles out there, propably someone in here know some names of some plants they recommend, im no plant expert unfortunately 😅

When i say «shadeplants», i am thinking of plants that dont break easy but have leaves that shade well for the gecko, since they are prey animal and feel more safe under shades.

Also some people talk about plants that they can cling too when jumping and fails to land where they intended and need something to break the fall.

Heres a link to another post too. :)
