--This is a zoomed terrarium.
--The substrate is a mixture of small gravel, ZML excavator, and eco earth.
--There is a styrafoam background that is flat and has a dozen or so toothpicks (rebar) in it for support.
--The project took about a week, mostly drying time.
--The grasses are taken from a field and microwaved.
--The goat skull was an ebay purchase for about $25.
--The wood is aquarium wood bought from a store.
--The only advice I would give is not to block the bottom vent, and dont use too much water.
--If I did this again I would use some chicken wire for support instead of toothpicks, and I would mix in some different sizes of gravel, and maybe try to find some woody roots to add to the natural effect.
finished project, before GBB is added.
I put the substrate and let it dry while the tank was on its side.
A small tunnel that I carved after everything dried.
The spider loves this substrate and will actually burrow in it.
I will send pictures if it makes any interesting webs (fingers tightly crossed).
