The Start of My Desert Terrarium



First I purchased a Fish tank setup.

Then changed the top to a open air mesh type cover so that moisture can leave the tank.

Right now I am testing plants in it which I like to call salvage succulents.

And of course I have my little buddy "Dwayne" the Black Hairy Scorpion.

The substrate: I am using at the very bottom of the tank, gravel for drainage, then I placed a thick layer of Cactus mix, fresh so that it wouldn't be contaminated. After that, I placed a nice thick layer of Sand in the front part of the tank for the scorpion to dig.

anyways, here are some photos from it!
