Default Plants for a dryer viv

So I've been lurking a good long while reading as much as I can and I'm feeling pretty good about my first vivarium endeavor!
It's going to be a naturalistic vivarium for my corn, dimension 36x18x18 with sliding front doors with euroventing (which is hard to explain without picks but its awesome).

And yes I'm well aware that it needs to be dryer than the more popular rainforest vivs and that humidity causes resp infections.

That said, I've settled on some sort of drought resistance grass as ground cover but its been slow going finding plants that would fit. I know succulents are an option but it's not quite the aesthetic I'm going for. I'll probably have some pothos or other small ivys because he's still a pretty active climber.

For heat my plan is to have a piece or two of slate situated under a lamp.
Still researching soil compositions but there is no end to the recipes on this site which is so helpful!!

So! Plants! What are your suggestions!

p.s. The Art of Keeping Snakes is in the mail

I wouldn't have a problem with that except I'm in western Oregon and it's pretty wet around here.
