You sure its a she? It looks too leggy to me suggesting a male that hasn't had hooks yet
Really hoping its a she as she was sold to me as a she just over a yr ago, woman i bought her off said she was 6yrs old. If i take a pic of the underneath of her moult i kept, could you be able to sex it? I can never tell no matter how many times i look at other peoples pics of theirs

If its a man i might put him out to stud, id love a few red knee slings in return if it was successful. Never thought about breeding her as a her coz cant find anyone with males near me

How big is your red knee ? Can you get a picture of its belly ? I don't think we could tell from a picture of the skin you would need to open the skin and look for spermathacea.

It does look leggy but might be female. I'm sure you will find a mate for it wether its male or female.

To answer your original question "Does anyone keep live plants .."
Yes I have full vivarium for my T stirmi, and will be building one for a M balfouri communal very soon.
