Here's another question. And please bear with me as I suffer from CRAFT and can't remember what some o'this stuff is called.

I want to do my substrate with a mixture ground English walnuts (for like sand), the reptile bark chips which are small and also the real bark chips which are big, and that Aspen white shredded stuff (to look like pieces of torn up tree).

I don't know my perportions yet. I'll have to figure that out. But I think, like make a "soil" mixture of the ground walnuts and small bark,then next ingredient would be the real bark chips, with the apen shredded stuff being the least.

Then I'd toss in a rocky area of small river stones (aquarium ones) and then larger rocks here and there.

What do you think?
