Big pythons are supossed to be murder on live plants, my waters have even broken plastic plants.
BUt the main problem would be bacteria in the soil which may cause health problems.

i had a chinese water bamboo in my juvie diamond's enclosure - he luved it cos it was strong enuf to hold him up. it kinda died tho but that was probly due to me not watering enuf rather than the tank environment 
i have trouble keeping plants alive...animals yes, plants NO

beardies eat any plants dead or alive. when i put in some fakes he attacked them. and spinifex has to have all the tips trimmed or it pokes the beardies eyes, or so ive heard
