You’re off to a great start!

I would remove the reptile carpet at the bottom, switch to a 5.0 UVB bulb, add in more horizontal branches, and more live plants.

Including this video to help you not have so much fishing line


Thank you! I’m planning on adding a wandering Jew or two and maybe a money tree as well! What is the issue with reptile carpet? And what’s an alternative I can use?
