Heading out later today to get some supplies. On the list is: Mesh, egg crate, glass for a top, and dirt. Plants and hides will be put in after. I've decided not to do a background, but instead to put sticks along the back and plant climbing vines and other arboreal plants on them, along with mabye some tillandsia and broms glued on.

That will look awesome! I have one viv where I used silicone to attach green reptile carpet to the back wall and the attached some small branches and broms to it, and planted a few bamboo plants along it. The broms have since died and need replacing, but it looks really nice.

Put an order in for the glass. Not able to find some egg crate that meets my standards, so i'm going to Macgyver something instead. At the hardware store, they also have these giant bricks of coconut coir (about enough to fill the entire terrarium), so i'm going to get some and mix it in with some peat, bark, charcoal, etc. I'm going to go leaf hunting after it stops raining. The frog's qt enclosure is all ready to go.

Alright, finally some action. Got the glass today, and the substrate mixed. what did i use as a drainage layer? Well, i cut up some plastic containers and used those. Stable for the most part, also used some reinforcements in the areas where the containers couldn't quite cover. Light as a feather. Now on my shopping list: Frogs, plants, lightbulb.

So here is the setup so far. ignore the sharpie on the glass, i did it because the glass was hard to see and i needed a visual barrier so i didn't bump into it

Also.. the stickers have been removed from the containers without residue.
