Hello!

Looking for advice on growing live plants, I’m planning on getting a redfoot, buying a vivarium to keep on top of the humid conditions, what live plants are easy to grow? I’m just thinking might be difficult to sustain with the lighting ect..

you're correct. It isn't easy growing plants indoors. I've had good luck with pothos, mother-in-law-tongue, African violets. I also use various succulents, but I have several "sets" and I have to rotate them in and out because they don't grow well indoors.

Pathos is also something I use. Those and tiny spider plants.
Mostly, just plan on replacing a plant or two every now and then. They will die, get trampled on, etc.
Don't get anything expensive.
Your babies will want bushy plants to dig in under and hide. What they are is less important as long as they are not poisonous.
