Here is the plant processing guide I follow with all my plants. It is all pretty standard stuff, but this is the place I found it all neatly put together for me to read through and pour over lol.

New England Herpetoculture LLC - Plant Processing Procedure

Processing is actually easier than you would think and it well worth it. I have not had any plants die due to processing them and they are all doing very nicely!

I thought the thread http://www.frogforum.net/general-dis...now-share.html was an excellent idea, but maybe should be moved to the terrarium section. I feel it is important for all new comers to see that even people building seemingly advanced tanks all started out as noobs at some point. (Even if all the evidence to this has been lost or destroyed BILL lol). I think sharing our knowledge, failures, and break throughs are paramount in helping others learn and grow with us . Posting failures sucks and is embarrassing, but the learning experience it has to offer is invaluable.


The best thing anyone can do on this forum is take pictures, loads of pictures, and as a TON of questions. Show that you are interested in learning, do some research, and ask for advice. Everyone here (sometimes even noobs like myself) will chime in and offer some tips or advice that we got from someone else on our build or from a mistake we made.

Can't wait for your tank to arrive so you can get to the build phase!!!
