    :clap: That's great.
    Some growers make very elaborate terrariums and others are very simple. Check out the posts by Rollinkansas. He has had very good success with Rubbermaid tubs with lights. You can find lots of ideas, success stories and failures discussed on this site using the search.

    You may want to create a drainage layer as the fir bark is going to turn to mush fast if it is always wet. I used LECA and plastic mesh separator and then put spag moss over that. Check out New England Herpoculture, http://www.neherpetoculture.com/vivariumbasekits, as they have the necessary supplies.
