I'm going to be overhauling my rosea's terrarium, and I want it to look desert-y. What's the best way to do it? I know I can't use just sand as substrate, but I would like it to look more like their natural habitat than the standard cocopeat.
Can I mix sand into the cocopeat? Or can I put a small layer of sand over the cocopeat? My rosea isn't much of a burrower so I don't think she'll be digging it up much.
For decorations I have a skull, some fake cactus and maybe some dry wood.
Has anyone here attempted a desert-terrarium for their T's? If so, what materials/substrate did you use and does anyone have pictures for inspiration?
ETA: I have a bag of reptile sand lying around that I've had for ages, that's what I'd be using.
