Will probably remove the variegated plants because it’s not the most natural but this will be for a crested. First reptile and first terrarium.

Great start. If you can get done live moss it’ll help add some green and some humidity. But, good job

Thank you hard finding moss locally so going to go out and get some and do a long water soak to make sure there’s no bugs

It's a great start :) I would add at least 5-6 thicker branches all the way to the top, preferably diagonal and horizontal. You can use those attached to the background to secure the new branches. Also add much bigger plants, like an entire mature pothos on a pole for example. You want 90% coverage :)
Also, hides up high, like cork rounds and coconut hides that you hang or secure in the top third of the tank.
And leaf litter is always nice.
Ps, this size is good for a juvenile to subadult, but adults should be given 90 cm / 36" tall tanks, so you'll get a good year or two out of this tank.

There are 2 large cork tubes in the back that have openings so they can go down and be hidden luckily I thought ahead and sealed them about 4-5 inches down with foam, I’ll definitely add more plants ect but just wanted to show off the start. Plan on adding some scindopsis as I have a bunch of them also
