Details
Pansies are compact, flowering plants known for their vivid colours and friendly appearance. Popular in outdoor enclosures or indoor plant stands, they are especially suitable for tortoises and other herbivorous reptiles as a safe, edible plant option.
These cheerful plants thrive in cooler, partially shaded conditions and can be used to brighten up a habitat while offering enrichment. Whether as a live snack or a bit of floral flair, pansies make a fantastic, low‐maintenance addition to a reptile‐friendly setup.
