Anapsid is a great site for everything..

You can use a number of other plants for your terrarium.. I don't recall if BTS are Omnivores.. but I don't believe so, and though they may test a leaf, I doubt they'd ingest it, you're safe with most plants. But stick to the known edible to reptiles Plants just to be safe.

Good luck.. though you're best off with plastic plants, as cool as live plants are.. it removes the fuss, and always looks good.. not to mention that if you're going to plant the plants in there.... well.. look forward to them being uprooted.. I believe BTS are semi fossorial and enjoy digging at odd things.. Though, I'll admit.. it's about time I studied them again. , I may be confusing their behaviors with Sandfish skinks.
