What sort of plants do you guys keep in your herp tanks?

So far I have a small bushy leafy tropic plant I got at canadian tire for five bucks, I saw it for sale in a pet store for twice as much, so you can pretty much get plants for herp tanks from anywhere, giving you a LOT more variety.

I also have a crawling broad leaf plant in there too.

Anyone want to post some pics of the setups they have? I'll get post some pics of mine soon :D
 
english ivy and some diff ferns and mosses i used a few other plant too just cant remember there names
 
What sort of herps are you going to put in it. That will really decide what plans you need.
 
my iguanas and the large snakes are in a tropical setting...(NOT TOGETHER!!!)
i use plastic.
 
i oly have 2 plastic plants in my five-lined skink tank but it doesnt matter bec he burys himself in the gravel.
 
I keep 3 clown tree frogs in my planted vivarium. I have a few air plants (species?), pothos, and some other types of plants that are unknown to me. I can't post pics as they are to big but check them out in my gallery.
 
i use pothos in all my tanks. it grows fast and the older the plant is, the larger the leaves get unless your cut your pothos back. i havent had much luck with mosses. but pothos grow well in any condition. low light, bright light, 100% water, dry, or anything in between. if you watch the show "lost" each time they run into the jungle, theirs golden pothos everywere. and the leaves are HUGE!!! i have one of my pothos starting to grow leaves about half that size and the plant itself is 4 years old and constantly is fertilized by my chameleon.

at least start with the pothos. english ivy is realy good but not as fast of a grower. i think.
 
anything i see and like at the 99 cent only store, there pretty good plants, and when i neglect them, it doesnt cost so much to replace them. (ive only neglected my plants twice, the other five times i replaced plants was 'cause my alligator lizard dug them outta their pots)
 
Here are some pictures of mine:
