[QUOTE="Isaac, post: 213460, member: 38682"] I'd go with the black top also, mostly because they do have the tendency to grow pretty quickly. As far as substrate, definitely 2-3" at least, they seem to like to get in there as soon as they find the hide and completely dig it out and redecorate. I get substrate from Biodude, it doesn't require any false bottom and with some springtails in it you'll never see mold issues as long as you're not overwatering. It's quickly become a staple in the house. I also always have a water dish, just in case. And when it comes to decor fake dollar store plants are perfect for easy maintenance, I have tons and tons of stuff I get, because they've proven way easier to maintain. I do have real plants in my larger enclosures but they're more on the bioactive side, and have all the additives in order to sustain themselves. For now I'd keep it simple, and get to learning your T before you start worrying too much about over complicating your enclosure. I think you'll enjoy the experience more that way also. [/QUOTE]
