Venus flytrap with pac-man

[MatthewM1]

Pothos holds up to the trampling pretty well if you really want a live plant in there. Mine have been uprooted and trampled a couple times and are still growing well

As everyone has stated this is a no go. Not because the climate would be wrong, but due to the frog beeding a different set of requirements with only 2 matching this particular plant.

The high heat and humidity is actually perfect for bothe the frog and the Dionaea muscipula, but the amount of indirect light required for the VFT will not work. Another issue is the soil and water requirements. VFTs need very mineral and nurient poor acidic soil which Coconut Fiber is not. Also the water quality for the VFT is pure water such as distilled, rain, or R/O water. The frog requires water that contains minerals and salts that will essentially kill the VFT.

Now I'm not saying 100% that it cannot be done, but it would be extremely difficult to keep both the frog and VFT happy.

i wonder if it would be possible in a live vivarium, planted off the substrate level in a pot with acidic soil under the shade of say a fern? or would a pacman climb up the background, if given one?

No they wouldn't intensionally climb up to get it, but VFTs actually need a lot of bright light which is bad for Pacman Frogs.
