none really do well because of the heat. apart from that the torts destroy them. you could have a cactus or two in a pot that can't be knocked over. opuntia cactus are safe. also Aloe Aristata, Aloe Vera and Agave would do in pots

Funny how you guys say your Leos don't eat the spider plants. My redfoots love them. Whatever growth gets in tort reach is nibbled off.
