Hello everyone!

Just wanted to see what everyone uses to decorate their enclosures? Mine is looking very bare at the moment and I wanted to spice it for my little guy. Love to hear everyone's input:)

I have an extensive cactus/succulent collection, so when I'm setting up a new indoor habitat I just go outside and see what I have that's in small pots. I like to choose from the jade, sansevieria and haworthia families. I also use anything in the pansy/viola family. Most ferns are not edible, but I use them too if I have some potted that will be up high enough that the tortoise can't reach the plant itself. I scrape away the substrate so I can set the pots down on the bare enclosure, then move the substrate back around the pot.

I also like to use the fake aquarium plants that have weighted bases:

I'm building my new table right now, and I'm almost done. I usually wouldn't add any decorations because I'm so picky! But I finally caved because there was a buy-2-get-1-free sale on aquarium decor. Stuff finally showed up in the mail on Christmas eve.
