    Default Me and my son have been busy

    Yesterday as some of you may know , i bought some green and black dart frogs and my son asked me if he could do the tank out, and he did a smashing job. so today me and my son tackled the rest of the tanks and here they are...... so far!

    Here is the d auratus tank



    here is the six foot tank , with my Hyla japonica enclosed and some newts in the bottom





    The big mossy log , is infact a piece of drainage pipe with 3 holes cut into it ,2 ferns at either end and an ivy in the middle ,then sphagnum moss is draped over the top

    Here is my baby Italian crested newt tank




    And last but not least , the odd ball tank , with 1 tomato frog, 1 whites tree frog and one barking tree frog.

    Very nice. I love it when planted tanks mature and all kinds of little surprises appear. It my dart tank its unidetified ferns. And my ficus is finally starting to take hold. Can't wait for it to mak a green carpet.

    Nice set ups.

    I'd be careful with that "odd-ball" tank of yours. Mixing species is not a good idea.

    banana roaches want a deepish sub of moist but not wet coir or similar maybe 4"
    medium humidity & slightly above room temps
    stuff to climb on & bobs yer uncle
    chuck banana in & leave til its black , dry & orrible
    leave to simmer & they will do their own thing
    the adults will die off & it will look like you are feeding an empty tank for ages ,
    then suddenly it will explode again & theres loads of activity
    works every time .

    oh & when can i come & see your critters ? these pics yer putting up are wetting my appetite for some europeans
