Some questions about naturalistic vivs

[biggiy05]

I want to go "all natural" for my crested geckos setup but I had a few questions.

Will I need to water the plants in the vivarium or will a nice misting twice a day keep them alive? How about growing? Are there plants that won't get any bigger than a certain size? Suggestions for plants for a crested gecko?

I've heard people talk about keeping pill bugs to help break about the waste the geckos leave behind. Is that something worth looking into? Also a more off the wall question but does anyone know of any sites that might sell them? It has been an extremely dry summer here and I have yet to see any around here.

I think that's all the questions I have for the moment. Thanks everyone.

The misting waters the plants. I mist once a day and that works well. I have had the most luck with pothos and split leaf ferns. Your choices are to get a vine-like plant and just keep looping it around as it grows or get something that you may have to eventually cut back. I've gotten my pill bugs from the back yard, but if you google them I'm sure you'll find something.
