I believe that silk plants are what they use in the pet shops along with some bendable fake branches. For "real" nature, I believe you can use plants such as dracenias and philidendrums (sorry I have spelt that incorrectly). Bark chips on the bottom and stuff that they can climb and hide in...Visiting a pet shop will provide you some ideas as well. Do not use sand!

I used a 20 long tank, with 6 of them in it at a time. I used reptile bark mixed with a little sand, and bed-a-beast. This worked very well to ensure high humidity. I tried to leave one section of the ground with mostly bark, at about 2" deep as they liked to burrow into it. I used various long twigs and thin pieces of wood bought from a pet store to decorate with. I also used the zoo med hanging plants and the bendable rope vine things that are in most herp stores. I used the hanging plant called cashaunara, or something like that. This is where they slept. They would curl up into the bush-like plant and sleep there. It was adorable. I also used a lot of moistened, though not sodden, green moss about the floor of the cage. They loved to root around in this. I think this is all, hope it helped!
