ive had herps for years and currently have a fish tank on display downstairs (the rest of the herps have there own rooms) i want to take apart the fish tank (have a friend big into fish who will take mine) and have a nice display cage, and im thinking a pair or trio of cresteds would be nice, we are night people so i would be arund when they are most active and they will not be a tease for my cats while im away at work all day. (it will be a cat proof cage) just wondering if anyone has any ideas on good plants to put in the cage, id like to leave them in pots and just use substrate around them for cleaning reasons, the cage i want to use is a 29 tall, ive read that that would be ok for 2-3 geckos, and would be tall enough for plants to grow
any ideas or pics would be helpfull, im going to hit google next...
thanks!!

Pothos Ivy, would be best for you I'd say. It's just regular house hold potted Ivy. I mainly see it at krogers, don't know if you have any of those.

Jewel Orchids, Begonia, Ficus, and Fittonia all do well in terrariums as well.

thanks for the ideas, had thought of orchids (love them, have tats of em') but for now in the smaller cage went with a bromiliad, colorful, non toxic and easy to care for, havent put it in yet, waiting till im better at the "wheres waldo" of finding the geckos to be sure everyone gets food!
ill try to get pics up soon!
