Psst its HER majesty Lol!

I don't really want to go any larger due to their tendency to become stressed in large areas plus it would be a pain to heat large tanks and yes they are expensive.

I baught a Exo-Terra Rainforest kit at first, but it was 18"x!8"x24". I didn't need that much height so I took it back. They don't make a rainforest kit with an 18"x18"x18" so I just desided to buy the desert kit and use what I can from it which is some fake rock structures and I can place the sand in my drainage layer. I'm probably going to heat it with a ceramic heat emitter and use the light canopy with Exo-Terra Repti-Glo 2.0 fullspectrum bulbs for the plants.

I'm going to use some Broms/pathos/and possibly some grasses. If I can grow some moss on rocks I will place it in as well. There should be ample plant covering to act as shade from the bright fluorescent bulbs that could harm her eyes. I'm going to be sure that their is plenty of shade for her.

Ideas are always welcome though.
