First vivarium for 2 WTFs! Thoughts? Missing anything?

I added in springtails and isopods, just planted it so gave it a solid misting and hit plant roots a lot. Still need to add the water dish.

Plan to keep it running for 2 weeks then order the frogs.

Current humidity is 65% to be expected and plan to keep it closer to 50% other than spiking with a nightly misting. Temp is about 75.

Basking spot is on a dimmer thermostat and holding 85.

Haven't gotten an T5 UVB but plan to do that before the frogs.

Ball Python 4x2x2

My ball python's enclosure! It's been set up for about 2 years, the plants are as follows:

Monstera Adansonii

African Violets

Birds nest fern

My mom's posted pictures of it before (btw hi mom!!) but the fern has gone CRAZY. ​

Best enclosure brand?

I’ve heard dubia enclosures are good but I keep seeing mixed reviews on the 120 gal. It’s either “great” or “flimsy,” and I am so conflicted.

I might be overthinking the backdrop

Hey yall, I have a bearded dragon in a 40 gallon tank temporarily while I make him a custom 150 gallon enclosure (which should be finished by the end of the month) ive watched a bunch of videos on making backgrounds using XPS boards and whatnot but im worried I wont have enough rough textures for him to rub up on when hes in shed. is there any way I can make the backdrop a little rougher and have it look more like natural rock? or am I just overthinking everything 🙃🤣
