Good luck with your project and congrats on your nice frog!

Hi Carlos,
Thanks for checking it out !

Actually, I have had this A. moreletii since she has been a little tiny tot ! ( Aug 2009)

It is time for her to have he own nice space.
I will be purchasing her some 'company' ( of her own kind) in the near future!

BTW, the name Boggie Smalls. How did that come about? I'm sure its got to with something with Notorious B.I.G. aka "Biggy Smalls"? Either way, I absolutely love it.

Ha!
Yes it did! Honestly, it was off the heels of a very funny conversation ( at the time)when we
( myself, my husband and my son) named her?
No one has really ever noticed it before ! wink
The funniest thing is, this frog turned out to be a female. Go figure !

LOL. thats funny. Cute name either way, I'm sure the "boggie" switch up doesn't make it so much of a gender specific name.

Hi Autumn.
I am planning on painting the trunks -only. Then attaching the the planters on the inside and using the plants ( cascading etc ) to finish-off the "folige " part on the inside.

[flybyferns]

I have started painting the back last night.
I is going to be time consuming. It has to be painted inside-out. It's hard.

I will post photos soon----IF I DON'T SCRAPE ALL IF IT OFF, first!

I've seen lampshades on Antiques Roadshow where the 100 yr old skill of reverse painting shows up now and then. I believe that technique is used here, obviously with new invention of spray paint. I'm not much into the tropical flare, but this video stirs my mind into thinking about other designs for my viv. Thank you for info.

Treesniffer,
Don't you just love it! It was my inspiration to paint the tree trunks on the outside of my enclosures. Nice clean background, right!
Someone who is really artistic could really make a beautiful background!
Thanks for looking
