    I don't see it hurting anything, but by the time it grows you will have needed to change the substrate. Plus you gotta think about the lighting that grass needs. Balls fair better in dim lit, secure feeling areas.

    I would just buy a plant and put it in a pot with NO fertilizers in the dirt. That will make substrate changes very simple bc you wont have to do any transplanting. I suggest a hardy plant like pothos (devils ivy) to hold up to your bp slithering all over it haha

    What's the fascination with putting plants in a BP's tank? Not picking on you, Kevin, but I've seen this being asked about a lot recently.
