Thanks for that.

whats your opinion on manuka and coprosma?

[livingart]

both of those will work as well

i cut holes in bottom of enclosure to take a plastic pot

lined pot with fine plastic mesh then potting mix and plant

to replace a plant if it got too big i just replaced pot with another i had been growing

One nz Reptile page i was reading said you should keep Nz native plants with Nz native lizards.

Try flax and other Kiwi plants.

try mulambeckia im not sure thats how its spelt but i think thats how its pronounced. as the geckos like to eat the seeds at the bottom aparently. Just any nativereally maby one that produces berries or flowers.

go to a garden centre/look on trademe at some of the natives.
