I have used live plants, but I can tell you from first hand experience... there are NO plants that I have seen that will live very long if within reach of a tegu. They will climb, crawl over, crush, rip up, dig under, etc.. until the plant is dead. Even fake plants end up needing replacing rather quickly.

Yup, they dont use them as food (not that I have noticed anyway) but non the less the plant will not live a long and sertanly no healthy live.
Even some of my fake plants are done for atm really need some new once :P

I have the very same problem with fish. This is why I never bothered with the Teg. If plastic plants can only last a few week's with 3 Pacu's trashing them, I dread to think what a 4' lizard will do.
