i will be sure to take pics etc as i go along. any advice you can give me on heating the terra ?

Lets cross that bridge when we get there. Dont fix a problem that doesnt exist. yet. Once you build it out and have everything in there, lets see what temp it keeps. Then we'll work out how to fix it. If a problem exists.

another question lol, been looking at the make your own background stuff, seems popular to cover three walls (comes back to the heating question here, will doing a three wall hinder should i have to put a heat mat on one side?) and have noticed many different techniques and materials. first idea i had was to make a small box with accents added onto the walls the inside to represent the shelf i would be putting in (obviously leaving one side smooth), then filling it with a lightweight material to create a solid structure. could also do this for the the background, the other idea being applying the poly resin to a polystyrene structure. main query is is there specific ones to use or things to look out for to avoid

cheers once more, Joe

[edit] also night lighting is the next issue, is it better to supply a night light rather than simply turning off the light

thinking of making a fake tree to go in one corner using this guide DIY Buttress Root Tree for terrariums and vivariums. (Drylok method) - YouTube , going to get that sorted and the background this month, then end of the month get paid and get plants, substrate etc sorted out and then let them grow and settle in for a month or so before even entertaining the idea of getting the frogs in. cannot wait to get started tho aha, spent today trying to find the uk equivalent of Drylok
