Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

In mine, I've got snake plants (Sasenveira), white ribbon draecana, weeping fig (Ficus benjamina) and golden pothos/devil's ivy (Pothos spps.). I can post a pic of each and my tank if you want.
Just Ask,
Brian

I also use a lot of Hoya-species indian rope.
You attach the hanging branches to the top/sides of the cage with suction cup hooks, leaving the potted plant in the center of the cage.
Makes a great jungle gym for any light-weight lizard.

Pothos is a great plant. It doesn't need a lot of light and is pretty hard to kill  Plus it has large leaves to sit on, and you can buy pretty big ones for a good price.

Sounds like good choices!
Only one I'd be the least bit concerned about is the wandering jew. I personally will get a rash if I get the sap from that on my hands and the stems are somewhat fragile... so might put a crestie at risk if they happened to get some sap on them?  Or it may just be a personal allergy and nothing to worry about, but I just thought I'd throw the caution out there.

Pothos and creeping fig are two popular choices.
