Cryptanthus, a family of terrestrial bromeliads, should be a fair bet as well. I'd recommend placing them in removable pots so that they can easily be removed if necessary to have time to recover in case they do get damaged, or simply replaced occasionally.
yeah, I have a plan in place regarding the easy removal or replacement of plants, since I know quite a few will be damaged by the resident digger snoot XD

I've just heard that a few plants can be poisonous, with sap or reptiles accidentally ingesting parts, and I don't wanna run the risk ya know?

thanks for your suggestions! I'll certainly look into these plants
