I use both real and fake. The Petco near me keeps live plants on a pretty regular basis. I don't know the names but you can check out my pics and try the Petco near you. Not all carry them though. The dark green ones have held up great but my bp doesn't ever miss with them.

I also have some in with my new adult BRB and while he will kinda nudge them alittle they are holing up fine. They are only $2 bucks so if I loose a few I'm not gonna cry.

I have only lost two. They were long leaf plants with dark and lite green stripes going up the leaves. They died on their own, not because of the snake. For some reason they don't do so well even though they call for the same care as the others.
