Is Nerve Plant (Fittonia) Safe for African Fat-Tailed Geckos?
Use sparingly / with care
Quick answer
No. Nerve Plant (Fittonia) is rated sparingly for African fat-tailed gecko enclosures — Non-toxic and attractive, but it collapses without high humidity and constant moisture, which is more than a fat-tail enclosure should provide overall.
Non-toxic and attractive, but it collapses without high humidity and constant moisture, which is more than a fat-tail enclosure should provide overall. Only workable as a small potted accent right beside the humid hide in a bioactive setup. If it wilts repeatedly, replace it rather than raising the humidity for the plant's sake.
