I get paid $10/hour for working for them, so I've earned $15 to put towards my vivarium budget.
    Umm, I thought that was a union job, squirrels and chipmunks only.

    Check the dollar store. Even if not for your tank construction, they're great things to have.

    And your Pothos will be great. A general tip though- if it came from a big box store, the staff likely have no idea what chemicals were on it. Rinsing as Heather suggested and the ample time frame should be good though

    if I were you I'd pick up hot glue gun and bunch of hot glue sticks from a dollar store, sillicone is smelly, tacky thing, and it is gonna stink for a long time.
    I didn't realize they were so cheap. I'll have to pick one up, there's a dollar store right down the street from me. You're right that silicone is smelly, I used to use it quite a bit when I was in the fish keeping hobby(so weird saying that, it was such a big part of my life for so long!)

    Hehe, well I'm not a chipmunk or a squirrel....

    No worries about it being from a big box store. I thought about that when I was at Walmart so I didn't even bother looking at their plants. I got it from a place called Orchard Supply Hardware. They seemed pretty sure that no chemicals were used on the plant, but if it was closer to the time when I got the frogs I wouldn't risk it. When I do get all my plants it will be closer to the time that I get frogs, and since that will be the case I will only buy from places like Josh's Frogs, etc. that have plants that are verified chemical free. Don't want my little froggies getting sick!! I'm very careful about that, I asked several people if Miracle Grow Orchid Mix had fertilizers in it before I got a definite answer. It was a yes, so I passed on it and got Orchid Bark from Orchard Supply Hardware instead.
