well- that can be expensive and a bit hard to clean- depending on size-

the enclosures we have for our 'biggins' are 7ft long, 3 1/2 ft tall and wide. we use driftwood- its not quite the natural environment but hey- its free.

We have found tons of really long branches as well as some more stocky logs. We also use rope lights for illumination-

They are in a seperate building from the house and the temp stays at 84-86 year round so we don't need heat lamps (and they're ugly anyway)- the rope lights can be hidden around the top or bottom of the cage- ours goes around the bottom and gives a nice illumination of the driftwood.

We also use large storage totes for water 'dishes'- they are firmly wedged between the driftwood and the wall so it wont tip over (b/c thats a lot of water).



don't know if that helped any- oh! we use our own mix for substrate- cypress mulch, top soil, stuff like that-
