    Default New to the forum, building a vivarium!

    Hi everyone! I'm Liz, I'm 25 and I've loved frogs my entire life. Specifically, red eyes. Last Christmas, after lots of research, my husband bought me a terrarium with books about raising frogs as a surprise! He had no idea what he was getting into! We went to Costa Rica for our honeymoon and I got to see wild red eyes, which was an experience of a lifetime.

    Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and ask that for any advice you might give someone setting up a vivarium. I don't want to actually get my frogs until the habitat is 100% stable with plants. So, right now, I'm looking for the best/easiest plants to grow for a first timer. Luckily, I do have a bit of a green thumb with my outside garden, but this is all new to me.

    Sorry for the rambling. I'm just really excited!!

    Thanks!

    Liz

    welcome to the forum Liz! if you haven't already, check out the vivarium construction threads. there you will find a ton of useful information, get to see other people's vivariums and if you have specific questions regarding your build, you can post them up in there. and don't be afraid to post pictures of your build, even if it's an empty glass box, we all love to see the progress they make. since i read your other post about starter frogs, i will hold off on answering your plant question, until you decide what frog you plan to keep. btw check out this thread Frog Forum - Choosing a Frog it will help you decide on your starter frog good luck
