So, I picked up an Exo-Terra 12"x12"x18" viv on the cheap the other day. And my wife and I want a crestie. I figured it would be a good terrarium to start with as we plan on getting a juvinile or hatchling at the NARBC show in October. The plan is this. I am going to silicone the back wall as there is a large crack in it, and put some GS over it. Then add some wood in the GS and silicone over the background. I will also be pressing some cocoa fiber into the silicone. As for live plants, I will start with fake ones, and add live as I go just to make sure I don't kill all the plants at once. As for substrate, I am not sure what to use. I know I need a drainage layer, but beyond that, I am sorta lost. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is what I have so far.
So. The original plan was to do about 1"-2" of Hydroton, then some screen of some sort, then dirt, then some moss. Now I am wondering if I should just go a head and do a false bottom? Any suggestions?
