Stop giving out crap information. You said yesterday you dont put beardies on sand because it gets caught in their beard and it might kill them. :devil:

OP - as everyone has said don't use ivy. Ive no idea about rough neck monitors, you could put in some mother in laws tongue (i think there called) and some nice bromeliads?

 

[Master_Of_Darkness]

I've used bromeliads, dracaena, chlorophytum, small palm species (i think it might be Trachycarpus sp.), ferns, ficus
