Live plants for arboreal snake enclosure?

In setting up my new carpet python enclosure I am interested in investing in some live plants, or a live plant. Just as a possibility. I would however need a plant that gets fairly thick branches in order to support the snake as it grows and becomes larger and as I upgrade the enclosure itself.

Also, maybe some type of hardy 'accent plants' would be nice too?

I'm not sure what I should go with. But something animal friendly would be great. And something not overly high maitenance, either. The plant will have fluorescent light from above and ambient light throughout the day.

Any suggestions?

Very cool. Those would be sweet to wrap around large pieces of driftwood and such to make for a really leafy green look. Climbing plants are awesome.

Now all I need to do is find one with really thick stems and strong branches... I'm thinking a ficus but they're so delicate when they're small. We'll see.

I'm going to use that site to check out a few more plants.

Is that pothos plant animal friendly?

Thanks!
