Re: Shopping day!!!
Looks good. Just my preference, but I'd do ReptiBark instead of cypress for a baby. Also consider EcoEarth soil. (Coconut husk)
Most of all, have fun shopping and setting up the new cage!

Re: Shopping day!!!
Do live plants do well in EcoEarth? I really like the stuff but I keep hearing it's too messy

Re: Shopping day!!!
Honestly, I love the stuff. I guess it can be as messy or neat as you make it, right? Perfect to hold humidity, great for spot clean-up. I've never tried live plants in it, but I dont see any reason it would not work.

Re: Shopping day!!!
Absolutely! I put ReptiBark on top of Eco-Earth. Best of both worlds and an even more natural appearance.

Awesome idea. This is what I'm doing 
I used ecoearth for my hermit crabs for a while and liked it a lot

Re: Shopping day!!!
If you mix the Repti-Bark in with the Eco-Earth, it lets more air into the soil, which helps it dry also. Remember, you don't want the ground ALWAYS damp. When you see it dry out a bit, give it a quick spray. If it's ALWAYS wet, it will get very musty and will eventually mold. Remember, it's "Mold Resistant" not "Mold Proof!"

Maybe the plants will help soaking up excess moisture? I have 2 so far.
