10 gallon vertical dartfrog terrarium construction

[John]

The three terrariums shown earlier in this thread, but now at the end of July:



All three terrariums have a breeding pair of Imitating Dart Frogs, Ranitomeya imitator, formerly known as Dendrobates imitator.
The left terrarium houses a newly matured pair of the "Standard Intermedius" race.
The center terrarium houses a very prolific breeding pair of the "Tarapoto" race.
The right terrarium houses a breeding pair of the "Varadero" race (aka "Jeberos").

i want to do this so bad but i would have no idea where to start a step by step video would be amazing im going to get all the items needed to do this i got it from that link you put up im going to do it with a 20 gallen tank for im going to get a whites tree frog the only thing that i dont undersand and would not feel good with are making the screens and false bottoms.

I'm not sure it would be good for a White's Tree Frog because those frogs require significant ventilation - the conversion I've shown here is geared towards dart frogs because they don't require much (actually, almost no) ventilation.

That is great John. Thanks for sharing it. I'm getting ready to put a 20-gal vert together for my new pair of pumilio cristobals (my first pums - I'm so excited). I've used Gorilla glue rather than silicon to attached the fiber material to the backing. Is there a reason you prefer silicon? Most of my vivs have fern panel backing so I'm new with the great stuff method. The Gorilla glue expanded a little so I had to press more fiber into it before it fully cured, but it seemed to do the job.

Those look great. The construction seems like it goes fairly quickly also.Is the ventilation screen made from a standard screen framing material or something else?
