Live Plants

I know that you probley hear this question to much, but what plants would you recommend for a crested cage. I am already going to put a ficus benjamin and an unbrella, but what else is there?

Also i was thinking about buying a crested straight from sandfiredragonranch.com. Anyone have good or bad input about sandfire?

Thanks

sandfire is a very reputable breeder, you dont have to worry.

as far as plants go, ficus and umbrella plant are all i use because they are very bushy and heavy bodied and the cresteds like to lounge in them and sleep, and they are strong enough to support their climbing, and jumping around.

Hey, thanks for the reasurence about ordering from sandfire. I also just realized that almost the same plant question was posted a couple days ago but it didnt get any replys, so good thing i asked.
So do you think that just a ficus and unbrella will be enough?

Another thing i was wondering about was if anyone knows if just plain soil is any better than having moss on the bottom of the cage. The pics posted by jbachi looked great and really made me want to try the moss. I heard that for cleaning a soil bottom all u have to do is take out anything large and then mix all the crested poopy doop into the soil. Sounds easy, but the moss looks so cool.
Thanks for any replies
