How can I improve my crestie enclosure?

[TimelessStorm]

It's 12x12x18 and has two spider plants. It's bioactive, I just put the springtails and isopods in it the other day and am giving it a month before moving my crestie in. I want to use that time to make it the best I can.

Here are a few things to consider:
--install some bamboo perches and fake vines so your crestie can climb around. You can cut a piece of bamboo to the size where you can just jam it into the width of the cage and you won't have to glue or anything
--there's a good chance the crestie will stomp on the spider plants. I am using pothos plants which are a bit hardier
--Make sure you have a light that will work for the plants
--consider one of those suction cup or magnet ledges with holes cut for food bowls that get installed on the enclosure walls.
--I have found that a 12x12x18 is too small for an adult crestie. I've had to keep cresties in that size enclosure on occasion and they have not been happy. I'd say 18x18x18 or 18x18x24 is much better.
