ordered these bad boys for my calcifer (and ball python). 

they should be here saturday, and i've got SOME ideas, but also many questions and concerns. for reference, my boy is VERY destructive, every time i rearrange his tank his first (and favorite) activity is to drag everything around and make it how he wants. this includes his current fabric and plastic plants, so i'm sure he would do the same to live ones. he is also VERY food motivated, even right after eating, and loves to chomp on leaves. would it even be worth trying live plants for his particular situation? he is a halmahera, so probably wild caught, and i would LOVE to make him a totally naturalistic palace, but i'm just really not sure if it'll end up being a waste of money😔 (i pay for everything myself with the help of my bf when he can, and we work part time retail for the time being, so money CAN be a concern). are there any plants that would survive him ripping them out of the soil until i replant them? could i do something like maybe keeping them in pots (with safe soil, of course) semi-buried in the soil? monstera anything is instantly a no-go for me because of his hungry habits. 

i'd also like to get springtails, but i'm apprehensive about isopods, even with extra leaf litter, as i'm worried he'd start eating the substrate by accident trying to hunt them😣 he is not the brightest bulb, that's for sure. 

but let me know what y'all think, and your experiences. anything helps!🖤
