    Ah right, sweet. Well I was going to order some plants from that site anyway so can save on postage by ordering the mix at the same time.

    Any suggestions on plants whilst I have your attention? :P

    I believe you are considering leucs.
    Given the opportunity, they enjoy climbing.
    They will like to climb up to the brom.
    So ,one lager one ( if it's your fav) would be fine.
    Do what is pleasing to YOU.
    You want to give them a way to get up to it.
    The will snuggle and share.
    Mine hang over the sides like 'Gumi Bears'

    Remember, be careful of choosing one that has sharp leaf edges.
    They scratch their faces

    Keep in mind......this will NOT be your PDF 1st enclosure !!!!

    Default Re: Substrate help

    I am indeed, I have purchased this Vine thing which I will be covering in moss once I get my lighting system up and running. I will be hand misting for a while first, but need to get this substrate sorted out haha.

    I would rather do what is more pleasing to the frogs rather than myself but if that plant would be fine I will get it.

    I wish I bought a bigger enclosure initially, but we have to start somewhere... Especially if they start to breed I am more than likely wanting to keep them rather than sell them on, but will only do what I can afford at the time and what is better for the frogs.
