    Default a thrifty setup

    I've had my pacman for a few months now, and at first I was struggling with keeping the humidity high enough in "his" tank, so I switched to a tub. I had that for about 2 months, but I wasn't happy with it. I wanted to SEE my frog.

    Today, my fiance and I were yardsaling, and I came across an old bulk candy bin for $2!! I bought that right up and brought it home for my "Grimm". It's bare bones right now, I'm still trying to get it set up to make sure he's comfortable, and it's an attractive home for him, but luckily, he's pretty mellow and has already been eating his crickets since I moved him earlier today.

    Any suggestions for other plants? So far there's a pothos clipping and an african violet, and that's it.

    P.S. Does anyone know if Portulaca grandiflora (Moss Rose) is frog safe? I have a bunch of them and think they'd be a nice addition to the terrarium. Thank you in advance!

    painted a slight gold trim on the front of the enclosure, leopard faux fur on the back makes for an interesting background, and found a nice little philodendron today that seems to complete my setup.

    I bought a bromeliad, but it was just too big to fit in there.

    19x12.5x11.5"

    Not counting where the one end is angled out, since it's goofy.

    I just posted on CraigsList that I am looking for something like this. This is a great idea and it is different from the usual ideas when you think of a terrarium. Only ones that are for sale, however, are like, 100s' of them together, like a candy store closed. I'll keep an eye out. I'm always looking for stuff like this for both my fish and now my pacman.

    if I ever decide to move my frog to another tank, I'm considering turning it on it's end for a small gecko of some sort. It'd be an awesome enclosure either way.
