Re: Shopping day!!!
I don't know if anybody answered, but all my live planted enclosures have Eco Earth.

Re: Shopping day!!!
They're thriving. I put a layer of hydro balls or gravel on the bottom of my enclosure with a sheet of screen over it. This allows excess water to drain so the plants aren't sitting in standing water. This also lets me know how often I need to water my plants.

Re: Shopping day!!!
Here's an old dart frog enclosure with gravel on the bottom (I'd recommend putting a thicker layer than this, my bromeliad died).
A more appropriate level of gravel.
I don't have pictures of hydroballs loaded on my computer, but I can take some pictures later (if I remember). In the mean time, here's an image I took off LLL's website.

Re: Shopping day!!!
Thanks BB!!! Can my BRB have a bromeliad in there? I have one that's barely hanging on so I'd probably rescue it by putting it in lol

Re: Shopping day!!!
Bromeliads are common in their natural habitat. Most keepers would advise against it, though, because rainbow boas will eventually get large enough to crush them.

That's if the bromeliad survives long enough for him to even get that big
