    Looks good buddy.

    Could you let me know the plants you used on the Left and right of the build? Also where you got them from? As a fellow UK member it would be good to know where you purchase some of the plants.
    (assuming the plants are real of course)

    Thankyou they are all real plants. I'm not sure of the names of the two on the left the pot just said "foliage" the fern at the back is a maidenhair fern, with a sword bromeliad in front and an orchid at the back. I got them all from Haskins for around £40

    Thank you im planning to keep four bumblebee leucomelas in there, altough my local reptile store is just about to get a whole load of new stock, so I might end up with something else...think the leucs will climb that log?

    If keeping Darts, you will need to seal up all the top screen with a glass pane or similar in order to reach necessary humidity levels. Do make sure your plants can handle the high humidity or they will rot.

    The ExoTerra background has crevices and slots that can become a problem with small frogs like Darts. My recommendation would be to remove it and either use a decorative film outside the tank or create your own molded in background. Bill (deranged chipmunk) has a couple good threads that explain how to do that. Good luck !

    Yeah I'm still waiting for the proper sized hood light to block one vent and I will put glass over the other vent. I've got a few weeks yet to get it all sorted. I was thinking of getting some aquarium sealant and just sealing the background off
