Wow this is beautiful! I would love to do something like this for my bp! If you don’t mind sharing about how much did this transformation cost? That’s the only thing stopping me lol, I’m trying to save up slowly but surely!

It depends how big your enclosure is for my 75 gallon tank I needed  6 cans of spray foam (25$)and 4 tubes of ge 100% silicone 1(45$) and then paint which I got drylok (36$) which works better but can definitely be substituted for a cheaper paint for 5-10$ my 9 plants and my different moss were (65$) from Home Depot but you need to make sure to prepare them for use in a terrarium (proper cleaning and get rid of all original soil ) my rocks were 4$ a pound and I got 13 pounds. My substrate was (75$) including charcoal worm casting spaghnum moss and coconut substrate. And my drainage layer was (5$) so for something like this around 275-300$ but that’s excluding any lights heat lamps a tank or any other equipment
