    Where did you get the pillow moss and the plants also could the small rocks you have possibly be swallowed?

    At a reptile expo. They're from saurian.

    And the rocks are too big for my dumpies. That's why I avoided small gravel.

    Ok I couldn't tell from the photos. The tank is great. Where did you get the leaves and is the water stagnant or is there a filter under there? John how would you go about colonizing it with tropical woodlice and springtails? Where do you get tropical woodlice?

    Sorry for all the questions. I am always just insanely curious.

    The leaves are from the same place.

    There's a pump in the part of the substrate where the hydroballs are. There's a hose hidden under the natural color rocks.

    Saurian had pre-built ones at the reptile expo I went to, and I used that for inspiration, though I didn't copy it exact.

    You need a soil or coco fibre substrate to have springtails or woodlice. Michael Shrom sells them and Jen Macke on Caudata.org has the woodlice.
