How did it get red eyes, or did you use photishop or something like that? I like Theodore the most because he doesnt really care lol

Colleen,

Looks good so far. As I am sure you have read already patience with spray foam will make the difference between a well cured well attached background and a nasty mess they you have to scrape off so you can try again.

As bill said the balloon trick is super easy and makes the placement of pots so much easier. If you want to just sprayfoam a pot into the background you can put a small balloon in the pot and blow it up. This will keep the foam from expanding into your pot

yes i am going to let it cure for a while. i am impatient, but i know i'll ruin it if i don't give it enough time. it's ok, i don't have frogs yet, so i have plenty of time.

Lol let it cure for at least 24 hours. It sucks and it will drive you crazy but it really is best. It will SEEM cured before then, but it's not. a little secret .... Spray foam is a liar!

my GS cave. Holy Expansion. well i might want to cut it down a bit. it's a bit bulky, to say the least. i have cut a few flat areas into the GS background, so the frogs can sit on them if they choose. also made 2 niches for my airplants that are not here yet. Got my Package from Josh's frogs today! exciting. Still have stuff on the way, but can't use it yet, anyway.

Is that a cave for the frogs to go in? Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build

[ColleenT]

Yes it is, but i think i might have made it too low, bc i have to add about 6 inches of substrate. so i may end up having to trim the cave entrance way up, or just turning it into a mini tree stump. i got the cup out, and just letting it set up more.
