Not the King! I just have grown and killed more than my share. My personal favs for any wet environment would be Dracs or many of the Angraecoids. If I were to make a list for a Vivarium with frogs I would place Dracula lotax at the top of the list. Reasons: it's small, doesn't like a lot of fertilizer (frog poop is fine), and only wants or needs low light. The bottom of the tank near a water feature or bottom of a waterfall is ideal. Even middle of tank would be fine, if above conditions exist. When the tank stabilizes at low 70s to low 60s (say 16-22C) then it will start spiking and blooming.

Most of the Aerangis/Angraecum group want high light, but do well in really wet environments. Mine are at 90-99% humidity but at 1000-1800 foot candles for 12-14 hours. They get misted every 4 hours for 5 seconds. The Dracs get the same humidity and misting but sit at 750-800 foot candles (maybe a bit less if they are shaded - something like Jewell Orchids). That's another thing - have you thought of Jewell Orchids? They are grown primarily for the colorful foliage, however I have two just about to bloom - they are in spike now. Here's a good link to peruse: Jewel Orchids : Littlefrog Farm, Jump into Orchids!! Rob is an Orchid Board member well-known here and a frog person. Marty knows him (or of him). I have 6 Jewells in the bottom of my tank under really dismal lighting and they thrive (almost too much). He recommends them for frog environments. A couple have some pretty nice flower stalks (pinks, etc.) Hope this helps.
