Ok guys, I'm going to be setting up a new terrarium using a 15 gallon fishtank for my flytrap (its getting a little too big for its britches and growing like a weed! Um...no pun intended *blush*) and would like to know which other plants were ok to put in there (as far as soil, light, humidity and temperature conditions go). I have horses and cows, so in the summer and spring I'll be going out and getting a few flies and spiders once or twice a month and letting them all go in there (don't worry...the hood is escape proof! *shudder*). As far as drainage and root base goes, I'll have thin layer of gravel (maybe 1/4 inch) underneath a thicker layer of soil (3 inches?). I have heard that keeping the water level at the top of the gravel layer works well for watering, so thats probably what I'll end up doing. As far as light goes, the hood has one flourescent bulb in it and I'll be getting two 60 watt plant lights to put on either side. I'd also like to get as many different types of carnivorous plants in there as possible, so if you guys could suggest a few that are compatable that would be awesome! ANYWAY...tell me what you think guys. Will it work? If not, what needs to be fixed? Also, any suggestions you guys have for healthier plants would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton guys!
