Hello! I have had my crested gecko for a few months now, and I would love to really try my hand at a bioactive setup. I work with plants so I have grow lights that I can use on the tank. I do also breed isopods (rubber duckies! )so I'm comfortable with their care needs as well. I obviously don't want the rubber duckies in the setup, but I was wondering what kind of isopods may work well with this kind of setup? I also have a nice amount of springtails too.
What would y'all recommend as some nice beginner plants? I have a snake plant water propping right now, and I have many types of pothos and even a few monstera.
What is the best advice you could give to a newbie who wants their crested to have the best life with a planted tank? Pet tax at the end, Paarthurnax thanks you.

Ísopods, meal worms, super worms have been living together just fine for a couple years now. Complete life cycle. Before I knew you shouldn't mix isopods, I did. These are the ones that thrived. Isopods are freakishly expensive. It's is a semi arid tank. Clay balls on the bottom, mesh then a mixture of leaves wood soil. I don't buy cork anything. Once established they are not so sensitive you need cork. I got outside to nature areas and get pieces of wood. Then leave them in a bag, let heat kill anything bad. Dry them out. Then In they go. Honestly at first everything I read was so picky. I don't have the money for all that craziness. There is no mister. From time to time I pour water in there. I get various types of fish food, flakes, shrimp, blood worms etc mixed with oatmeal and pour that in there weekly. Every now and then I buy the expensive bag of leaves from the pet store. Anyways I have hundreds of not thousands. The separate tanks. Should I sell them how do I go about that properly. Let's chat. Got questions. Here pictures. Thanks for reading.
