Picture
This list is based mainly based on chameleons as they eat some vegatation, so i guess it will be safe for most other reptiles includeing tegus. please bare in mind though that many of these plants may not withstand tegu abuse as they can be delicate.

some plant are mentioned a fiew times thats only because they can be found under different names, all listed alphabetically.

bare in mind also that some plants like more uv & heat & humidity than others but a well trained shop member will be able to give good advice on that.

Have fun experimenting.
