    Default Another aussie

    Hello all,

    I have been lurking the forum for a while but not much posting. I find the build threads very inspiring. I currently own a trio of Litoria chloris (Australian Red Eyed Tree Frogs) and have had them for about 2 years. They are housed in a zoomed enclosure that I made a custom background using black silicone over expanda foam and polystyrene background. The background looked good when I made it but I really struggled to keep plants alive and to keep it moist enough. I found that the enclosure dried out almost instantly after a spray.

    We moved state into a smaller rental apartment, despite the addition of another family member and the frogs were placed into a temporary enclosure (plastic tub) while I waited to finish studies and move into a larger place...which has happened yet. So I found a place I could put them, at the foot of our bed. I have attempted a make-over for the enclosure and have decided to have a separated area for the water and land.

    Heres what my enclosure looked like after my first attempt.

    Will post pictures of how it is now, but looks quite bare as i need some more plants. I have also gone with some bromeliads this time round and am thinking of buying a mistking setup to keep it all hydrated.

    Hi there!
    Your red eye is gorgeous! Your tank looked great before, I can't wait to see it once you remake it
