These aren't exact percentages. But it's about 60% organic soil, 30% play sand, 10% eco earth.

Walmart. You get it at home depot too. I think it was Miracle-Gro Organic Choice Garden Soil.

Springtails should be here tomorrow.

They call them tank janitors. They eat feces, uneaten food, snake sheds I believe. It's for a bioactive setup.

Don't they eat wood that starts to decompose as well?

Re: Spot The Critter

Nice!

I have been wanting to do a nice 'live/natural' tank. I love the look of yours. Do you plan on putting live plants on eventually?

Not in this one. My King and Garter setups are similar and I have live plants in those.

Re: Spot The Critter

I see "him" however, I can't determine exactly what it is? He looks like he's waiting for some unfortunate prey item to wander by so he can spring out and gobble it up.

Looks like it could be a hognose.
