    Default How to make a vertical tank?

    I've been talking with a local reptile rescue about adopting a white's tree frog they got in. They have pretty similar requirements to my pacman frog, so I've already got pretty much everything I need.

    My free tank is a 20gallon long which I think would be great if I could get it vertical. With decorations for climbing it would probably still have enough vertical room to keep one happy for awhile till I get that figured out. I've heard of people modifying tanks before; can anyone tell me how you would do this?

    There are a lot of great build threads in the Vivarium, terrarium and enclosure forum.

    Thanks! I've been wanting to get another frog for awhile now, and this little guy just popped up. I'm pretty excited about it.

    Will do. I'm going out to buy the stuff today. I'm going to try and make 'branches' out of PVC pipe that are grounded in Great Stuff foam to give him more three-dimensional climbing space.

    these turn out cool, but really it's easier to just grab some deadwood from the woods,strip the bark off and boil the heck out of it. lol
