So things are moving fast now, which is great.
I got the background panels laid out (2)- missing the where I sharpied around the bark, carved (3,4,6), painted (5), foamed (7), cut again (8), touched up the paint and installed into the enclosure (9). I decided against using silicone this time as each panel has a decent amount of pressure from the hardscape- so they aren’t physically attached inside.
I have a mean blister from from carving and the tools I used are in pic 6- each panel probably took 1.5-2 hours are initial carving, maybe longer.
I then got my hardscape laid out and installed (pic 10) and let everything rest overnight.
Today I installed and tested the misting system, got the light fixtures where I want them and got most of the plants inside.
I released the CUC inside- springtails and quite a few of my Clown isopods.
I have moss in the freezer that I’m going to mess around with tomorrow.
So next steps are basically final touches and letting it grow in a bit before Toe’s goes in!
Unfortunately I don’t have an extra reptile fan, but when he goes in it will be added to control the humidity during the day- some people thought I didn’t have ventilation in my last post but the entire top is cut out and then the fan will move air around inside as well.

That looks really great!
Looks really good. But what do you mean when you say you have moss in the freezer.
That is really cool! Great job
Looks great. Keep the updates coming over the next few months. I have a Fabrikor as a greenhouse but always wonder about converting it to a vivarium at some point.
