Reptile Plants and Logs

Artificial plants, logs and accessories can give your reptile's habitat a natural look without the risk and extra care needed with using outdoor plants and wood. Plants gathered from outdoors may be exposed to chemicals, parasites or other harmful substances and should not be placed in your reptile's habitat.

Artificial plants and logs come in a variety of shapes and sizes so you are sure to find something great for your reptile. While you may want to keep a theme with tropical or desert flora for your pet, it's also important to provide décor according to your pet's activity level.

  • Leafy plants and caves may provide a safe place to hide and a cooler area away from a basking lamp.
  • Vines and tall basking rocks are great for reptiles that need to climb or want to get closer to a heat source.
  • Logs can be oriented vertically or horizontally to provide climbing space for your reptile.

These accessories are a small part of what is needed in your reptile's habitat. Include the essentials in your reptile’s terrarium—including species appropriate subtrate, hides and food and water dishes among other items. Disinfect the habitat and décor with a non-toxic cleaner designed for reptiles. Other accessories such as moss or live plants can also make a great addition to some reptile habitats but may need to be replaced over time and should be regularly checked for decay. Find everything you need for a home that can help keep your pet happy and healthy at Petco.

FAQs About Reptile Plants and Logs

It is not advised to include branches and plants collected from outdoors. Outside branches and plants could potentially be exposed to both chemicals and parasites that could be harmful to your pet.

These accessories can be cleaned the same way as your reptile's habitat—with a reptile appropriate non-toxic habitat cleaner or 3% bleach solution. All items should be rinsed and dried thoroughly before putting them back into your reptile's habitat.

Provide artificial plants and logs to reduce the potential risk that plants and logs gathered from outdoors may pose. Which plants and logs you provide is mostly personal preference, but some types may be more suitable for certain species over others. Designs may be picked to fit the landscape of your pet—whether that be tropical or desert—but also according to the behavior of your reptile.
