What plant to use
I read that it’s good to use plants in the philodendron or ficus families, however some of them can get big so choose carefully. I read that you can also use Pothos, also known as Devil’s Ivy. I am using one of those, as well as some small palm plants i got from Home Depot. My green anole often likes to sit on top of the little Palms, and it’s very entertaining to watch her when she accidentally slides down them. Hope that helps.
Also, I re-potted them all in a peat moss/sand mix 1 part sand to 2 parts peat moss. the sand helps the plants retain moisture. you could also use an organic soil or organic compost for that.

Check the care sheet. There is a list there.
