    The first one looks like it's trying to be Pothos but the picture makes it look too tall and the leaves don't generally aim the pointy end up. Could be the angle of the picture though?

    The second plant (the one with long skinny leaves with a brighter stripe in the middle of them) looks like it might be a Dracaena fragrans massangeana, aka Massange's Dracaena, aka Corn Plant. It will work well in a viv, it likes the soil to stay moist but not too wet and can handle low light. It will eventually get big and will need some aggressive trimming, but they don't grow super fast and can regrown from the base.

    Ok thanks you. Are these good plants for my frog to climb? How do I clean the plants if they have pesticides ?

    Your frog will probably love them! What I do to prepare my plants... I rinse the leaves all the soil off the plants and replant it in its own pot with substrate out of my tank. Then I let it sit outside for a couple of days, then rinse the leaves again. I haven't had a problem with them yet.

    sweet thank you. One more question do they need a food dish/ container or do i just release the crickets in the tank?

    If they dont need one, Where is the best place to release the crickets?

    If they do need a one where do i place the cup/dish ?

    thanks

    It is easier for them to get to the crickets before they hide if they are in a small glass bowl of some sort, but I just drop the crickets in and let them hunt. I do watch them to make sure they all get a few though. Crickets are great at drowning themselves, so you would definitely want to put them somewhere away from the water.
