lol.... so no heating pad then.. Haha. What I was thinking for the tank was making more of a sloping substrate, with a small pool of water at the front. I read 1/3 of the tank should be water, so maybe I will do a little more, and maybe a little trickling water fall? I don't know.. lol Thinking I will use coco coir and leaf litter. Underneath that dirt for the plants.
