Need Help Planning a Terrarium

Pictured above is Rimmon, also referred to as the kitty of dooooooom. Rimmon, and his brother Zakar (Both named after Mesopotamian gods, btw. Because really, aren’t there enough Fluffys and Marshmallows and Patches in the world?) are PLANT DESTRUCTORS. Doesn’t matter what the plant is — dead or alive, spicy or not — they will eat and/or smash, rip, and tear it into oblivion. I’ve tried well, almost everything, including the soil-less plants, too. (I’m about to try those again, though, and may have to resort to this thing called “iron” to guard the darn thing.

Pictured at right, is what I just bought. (Habitat Design, by the way, is pretty tremendous. A little on the pricey side, but I really like a lot of their art pieces. I wound up getting the terrarium from Fab.com over a month ago, and Habitat Design is the only place I found where it’s currently available.)

ANYHOO… Now that I have said fortress of plants, I need to figure out what kind of plants to put in it. My thumbs, they are not green.
