Hi all! Great post!
As we all know, I do not currently have a frog room. My racks, tanks, and supplies are in my bedroom.
I have two black metal racks from walmart. One 5'x18"x as tall as you like and a 3'x18"as tall as you like. Shelves are adjustable.
I have a metal utility rack for the ff cultures. The springtail and isopod cultures are on a high top shelf of the dart frog rack.
Darts on one rack. Retf, Melvina gold dust day gecko on the top of the other rack and pacs on lower rack.
Extra supplies in Rubbermaid bins on bottom shelves of both racks. I mounted under-cabinet light fixtures on the undersides of the top shelves for lighting of each shelf. Each holds an 18" 6500k cfl. I need more though. I also have random dome lights with the spiral cfl full spectrum bulbs for different plants.
My Cuban tree frog is in the living room in his 18x18x24" Exo terra.
I do still hand mist with a pump sprayer.
The crickets... Yuck! Are in a ten gallon tank which I empty and clean out every 2 weeks. I am liking the rotating tank idea and will very likely switch to that. Only my reds and Cuban eat crickets. Since my Cuban never has left overs (little piggy!), I can put the retf crickets back in if not eaten. My reds are bowl fed.
Oh, and our Atelopus trio are still in QT on their own shelf I pulled into our room, temporarily.
My future plans are to make part of our old indoor garage area our new frog room. This is a long standing goal which will take months. It is currently used as storage.
After the crazy events of our life settle down, I will begin the frog room. This might not be until after the holidays.
I will also move my bazillion plants into one end of the frog room. We will likely run grow lights across that whole ceiling area on that side. I'm not looking forward to the electric bill, lol!
Lots of work to come!
