As soon as I get another camera or a quality phone with camera will post some pics.

My habitats are kind of simple and mostly geared toward functionality. Another benefit of this type of set-up is that eventually beneficial bacteria will colonize the wet hydroball section and as long as you don't let it dry up; will reduce ammonia from urine into nitrites and then further into nitrates. Plan to siphon out that water once every week once system is stable in around a month and test for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. Then can make a water change schedule. Currently the water is not rising into soil section and making it mud. I do spray whole enclosure once a day when changing bath water.
I like it. Its one of the best ideas I heard that isn't a live viv.
