The lucky bamboo you specifically mentioned should be safe. Make sure any plants you purchase are pesticide free. Also wash all the soil off the roots under the faucet to get rid of chemical fertilizers. The fertilizer *probably* won't harm the snake (?), but that stuff has been reported to kill frogs (Natural Terrariums, Philip Purser....somewhere in that book).
If you get your plants from a viv supplier, they should be safe, and just follow the vendor's instructions. Otherwise, it is suggested to quarantine any questionable plant for a month or so. The pesticide needs time to break down, and you will still need to get rid of the original soil. Viv suppliers sell amphibian/lizard safe liquid ferts if you wish to add some. I just use home compost/compost tea/ and goldfish waste.
Don't use compost at a garden center - nasty stuff is frequently in there. Personally, I wouldn't even use it on a flower bed.
