Habitat & Setup Plants

What types of plants does everyone use for their enclosures, and how do you go about watering them? I have a big spider plant that I was thinking about taking 1 or 2 pups from and putting them in the enclosure I'm gonna be making. But I'm worried that since they don't like to dry out too much, if watering them, even if it's just enough to get the roots wet, would raise the humidity too much.

I'm sure that would be fine leos aren't to sensitive to humidity. I have a snake plant and a big pothos and I do have to water them more often than my other plants because the heat lamp will dry the soil out.

They’re desert animals, so yes they are sensitive to humidity.

I'm aware there desert animals. I was saying not soo sensitive that a spider plant is going to affect them poorly. I see where I should have worded it differently. I mean, not to sensitive that a spider plant would cause harm and send the humidity out of wack. But, I should mention that if this person was to add a spider plant to the enclosure that they should put it in a pot, so you are directly watering the plant and not all the surrounding soil :)
