The boiling will kill more bugs and parasites that freezing will. I would boil just to be on the safe side myself, but that is up to you.

Paul hit everything right on the spot You should boil the vines if you can, but I have just washed mine with hot water and been perfectly fine after the mold stops. I know many people are cringing at that statement, but I was antsy so I rushed it :P But then again mine came from a tree we cut down in our front yard which was pesticide free. I hope this helps!

Thanks for the input DigitalPunk and Strider18!

I quickly found out that I had way too many branches/dead vines, so I decided to incorporate them around the tank as well. Also planning on building a "skirt" for the stand.



and then here's a pic of the inside at an angle...




ABG mix is on its way, as well as some frog moss. Canister filter will be installed soon. After that I need to pick up a thermometer, hygrometer, repti-fogger, and plants... and of course frogs and springtails later on

Hope you have fun building the tank!

Looking great! Building a tank is a long slow stroll down a old brick sidewalk (read as something your meant to enjoy) not a sprint. Always better to go slow and enjoy the process because as soon as this one is done you will have ideas flowing for the next one, or see things with this one you wished you'd of done different lol.

I never liked frog moss. I prefer Sphagnum moss my self. It looks cleaner and is a long fiber moss and will not be as easy for the frogs to accidentally swallow.
