I am on the hunt for plants to put in the monitor setup once my new cges come in and i was wondering if [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Creeping Fig - Ficus pumila is safe to use in enclosures. there are a few other plants i am looking at as well. but i like the fact that these will climb and grow fast[/FONT]
 
Ficus pumila is widespread in European Terraria because it grows fast and doesn't need much light. Only thing could be that the monitors would rip it apart easily because it's a small plant with small stems.
 
That's what I was worried about. But the thing that will help me is the monitors stay fairly small. I was on Black Jungle and I saw them and I liked them a lot for the reasons you posted above. I love the fact that they grow fast and that they will climb.
I may give them a shot, they are cheap. 5 or 6 bucks a plant. And along with the ferns and air plants I plan on getting for them it should turn out real nice.

Now I just need the other half of my tax check so I can order the damn enclosures lol
