our move is giving me the opportunity to totally redo the plated lizard tank and I very much welcome input
this is what it looks like now (forgive the dirty glass):

next time they definitely need twice as much water, greenery, and a different substrate - something they can dig in without shoveling it all into the rails
someday they'll get a bigger cage too
as you can see I've already stuffed airline tubing into part of the gap on the bottom, but these guys need fresh water daily, so that door needs to stay mobile
right now it's a real pain
I'm gonna look into vacuums too, but the substrate I'm using right now gets lodged in weird places
thanks for your help
