Suggestions right under your nose OP! If you look at the Enclosures & Supplies subforum you'll see many many threads about cage plants too.

Grape Ivy. It grows fast, and covers like vine.

The other one I have found is called kangaroo foot fern. Big leaves gets cool long runners that look like the fake vines people buy. grows fast.
My female likes to eat fresh shoots, but once the leaves are big she ignores them.

I actually have a couple of those... they’re pretty tiny though. We bought them as pretty bushy plants... didn’t do so great in my old room, 1 of 3 has died, the other 2 are coming back but have lost many of their leaves, but yeah they’ll probably do better in my new room, so I might actually try them

The photos on the websites you look to buy them on. High price for a small plant.

Scheffleras can get to like 7 feet tall outside, but in a chams enclosure they won't get this big because there is not enough room for the roots to expand.

idk how you got yours so big, they seem to be a bit hard to grow bushy and huge. like you need alot of light for them is what i mean

It sounds like you don't need new plants as much as you need a good plant bulb.

One thought is to order online from HomeDepo , It is the same plants, but they will be in prime condition straight from nursery.
