Great job! Do you have any pesticide and fertilizer free oak or maple trees near that you could pluck some branches from? They would love to climb! Also make sure they don't spray for mosquitos in your area. If not, long pieces of cholla works too- you can get those off of eBay

That's great - it's just the branches are free- and are a great treat/snack and add variety of height. I never soak my stuff. If purchased from pet store I toss in. If branches - I freeze, then put in the tank.

Newbie here, why does everyone put the moss in a shower caddy up high? Is it purely for humidity?

Yeah I have a pile of moss in the corner for them to hide in. And I keep the moss to where it'll be humid.

For me it's about surface space. If you attach it high up than the space below can be utilized.

I place my moss directly on the substrate. - I definitely go through more moss that way though.
