| Looking good. If you want you can add a few plants, plastic or real ones. | |

| Thank you I'm considering getting some ferns for the tank (real ones) to "jazz" it up a little is this a good idea? and are there any other plants you recommend? | |

| Remember to make sure that the plants you use need very little UV rays. Ferns could probably work as they are usually found in the undergrowth but I have never used them myself. I usually use what is called creepers in my enclosures, they create a nice blanket effect, same as moss, but also gives a bit of height. | |

| Never put a heat mat or pad under a scorp enclosure. | |

| I got confused with reptiles XD I know scorps dig tunnels to stay cool so the heat should not be where they go to cool down but over the surface. I stand corrected | |

| The heat mat is at the back behind the moss, It's a little bit slanted so i need to fix that but it's there I also have a lamp to heat it up too because the heat mat the pet shop guy gave me is too big and it doesn't fit on nicely. He told me to put it underneath but i knew to ignore that Thanks everyone! I am getting a bigger glass tank soon so I'll definitely use some of your ideas in the bigger tank when i have more room to make it look really natural possibly getting another to go in with him as well. Errm just for reassurance... this is a creeper isn't it?? Or is it something completely different? | |

| Pothos plants require very little light as well. | |
