not all that exciting of an update, but we're making progress:
so i got the 20L, yay....and a stand, yay. now i need to get the cover. i have decided to go with just a plain hood and screen top, and will be ordering these either today or tomorrow ... Four Paws Screen Cover (Center Hinged-F/B) - 20L/29 gallon Tank Top & Zilla Zilla Reptile Strip Light Tropical Fixture - 30" - bulb included!
then i'll go to home depot and pick up a bag of gravel for the drainage layer, will this do the trick (rinsed well of course)? 0.5 cu. ft. Decorative Stone Pea Pebbles-40206018 at The Home Depot
and then a bag or two of eco-earth and various tropical plants from petco (rinsed as well).
i'll probably try and let it sit for at least a week, get some photos up, and then add the Gang.....ack i hate waiting, i want it all right now! lol.
and, on a good note, all toads have been shedding and seem to be growing steadily - Big Red came out completely last nite at feeding, sooo exciting to see him!!
