I think the issue is that even at 140gr, my chunky butted girl would squish any plant I tried to grow. Could you imagine what a 1000gr bp would be able to accomplish with a slow leisurely trip across a tank? Real plants simply are not realistic with such a heavy bodied snake. Perhaps with a skinny, quicker moving snake like a corn?

I'm sure some do it... I just can't see it working out very well.
