Is this gonna be a mess?

Hello all. I got my first GDG about a month ago. He is housed in a large reptibreeze with potted plants. I have put together a 55 gallon terrarium which I planned to be his future home. It is planted and has a 3 inch lava rock substrate, fir bark/charcoal/ecoearth layer with various plants. I introduced terrarium bred isopods and springtails to handle fungus and feces. However, upon seeing how much feces my 5 month old produces and how terrible it smells when damp (but not when dry) I am worried that the moist terrarium will be a disgusting mess. I'm not sure with plants etc how it could be cleaned out without destroying everything. I'm considering leaving him in his reptibreeze and not using the terrarium. Any input from people with a similar terrarium setup? IMG_3145.jpg

The springtails and isopods should eat the poop. I have a leachie in a naturalistic set-up, who poops even bigger and I hardly ever see it because of the cleanup crew.
