Hey all,

Okay, so this is my first shot at a terrarium. I got into it after reading a thread by Bo_ about his carnivorous plants.

I've got this set up as simply as possible in a 5 gallon tank... for now. 75 watts CF light, 5000k. It's got a partial glass top, humidity stays between 50-60, temp between 70-80.

Droseras: scorpiodes, adelae (mama and babies), capensis
Napenthes lowii

Thanks for all the kind words! I'm not sure what else I'm going to do with it yet. I like keeping it basic because it's easy to move around, repot, etc. Actually, I'm thinking of moving the whole thing to a 10 gallon so there's room for more plants!

If you mean the ones in the 6th pic, they're drosera capensis. The hairs on the leaves secrete a sticky mucous that digests unlucky bugs... :evil_lol:.
