    the metal screen you can wipe your face on so I dont think he will have a problem with getting sores. its the kind of mesh top that is painted over. the eco earth is 5 inches deep. I am planning on putting another brick in there tonight but I ran out of eco earth yesterday. I may just use topsoil since I have a bag of it left over.

    Almost done. I put in all my plants; two types of croton, african violet, birds nest fern, tillandsia, and a regular fern (i bought it awhile ago)
    now the only thing left is to make my moss milkshake, paint on and watch it grow into the background.

    there is your paint moss.
    I would suggest removing your background while you paint and watch grow. mist frequently to keep moist.
    the contents of the yogurt and beer may be harmful to your frog until the moss is established, which is why i suggest taking your background out during this process. I will keep updates on the moss growing. It takes roughly 2 weeks
