    Grab some dead oak leaves. :P Don't use maple or any of that other junk. Oak works best for display. I "bake" mine for my roaches at around 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

    **EDIT- Also for substrate, maybe reptibark with potting soil beneath. You could plant some ferns in there. I've found that garters in the wild like to hang out near wild rhubarb, so maybe you could plant one of those in there.
