"rain" is good, but maybe not every day. Be careful not to let it get really soggy, too wet can promote some nasty mold growth. I use this method with my lizards, I water the soil twice a week.

Under tank heaters are not only unnecessary, but ineffective when a layer of soil is present. But garter snakes don't need belly heat, put a small wattage basking lamp on one end and copy nature.

I have kept colonies of slugs in a (dead, cord cut off) deep freezer, with about a foot layer of soil in the bottom. Old chest freezers seal up tight (no escapes) and have lots of room. The slugs...

Finishing off an accident is always hard. :(

Pretty cool. I am a huge fan of bio active, but I live way out in the country, so I dig up natural soil from my back yard and use that. It's already fully bio active.

Tommyradix and Albert Clark, please chose one photo each so I can post the votes, thanks! so many great photos.

Unfortunately I have to agree. Facebook has it's own set of problems, but the ability to just point and click a photo onto the post is a great feature that I wish Vbulletin would get with the times...
