Hopefully this will suffice.
I gotta do some touch ups on the BG, add some foam sheets with some bark attached to the one side, and Im gunna re do the substrate layer with a thicker layer of loam on top.
The BG is a great stuff and Peat back ground with brown silicone as the adhesive layer and a fine layer of loam and dried long fiber sphagnum.
The substrate is a mix of black sand ( very, very little ) top soil, peat and sphagnum chopped up very fine.
Its kinda dark and creepy but Im gunna do a coat of moss milkshake here and there and add some brighter leaf litter.
Hopefully this will suffice for a Tiger Salamander. I dont plan on getting it till this set up is complete 100% ( well not the moss anyway ) and its gunna be for my son on his Birthday in September.
It kinda reminds me of some of the wooded areas along the Lehigh river where I grew up in PA. The substrate is a lot like that fine black silty loam. To the deeper side, you cant see but under that mound beside that root I have two half logs silicone together to form a long one and buried under that mound. Hopefully the Salamander would take to it to hide but I do have a few more spaces for him to go.
