Finally planted my 24x18x36 tank for my gargoyle last week and realized I am massively lacking on the terrestrial side of things. I have an alocasia and a snake plants coming in from NEHERP and some nerve plant clippings + a pepperomia (currently still in its pot) and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on placement to promote thriving. I added where I was planning to the first picture and the second is how the whole tank looks. Aiming to put my gecko in it this time next month and my last step is planting this part and adding my leaf litter + clean up crew! Let me know what you think

I’m not a huge fan of snake plants in vivariums their more desart plants. Too much moisture they will rot
Peace lily or aglaonema as bushy plants
Anthurium or calathea too
sometimes vining for the back spot
snake plants wont survive higher humidity …just saying
I have a snake plant in my current crestie Viv, it has done fine in high humidity. The reason I wouldn’t use it here however, is because using a tall plant in the front of the enclosure will block so much space for viewing. You effectively won’t be able to see anything behind it. If possible I would use it in the back left? But for the front right some sort of fern would do well. Rabbits foot or really any you like that can thrive in high humidity. In the back right I’d consider something like pothos and allow them to climb the background.
