18x18x24 Exo Build

[LilyPad]

My 24x18x24 has still not come in yet, they thought it would be in this week. The store has offered me a 10% discount on another terrarium, but I'm trying to hold out because it was such a good deal ($150+tax.) In the meantime...I do need a bigger viv. One of the other local pet stores is closing and is getting rid of tons of stuff. So I bought a used 18x18x24 for $60 (also came with the light and stand...I left the stand there, didn't want it.) I also bought a cool piece of cork bark and a nice branch. Today, I scrubbed the hard water residue out with some vinegar. I have no idea what I'm really planning to do with this yet, but I will post pics as I go!

You can do a lot with a 18x18x24. I have one. Right now I'm keeping four Vents in it. I'm curious - What do you keep both your Red-Eyes in.

This will be for the red eyes until I get the bigger one and get it all built. Currently, the red eyes are in a 20 gallon high tank. I have lots of ideas mulling, I just need to pick one and go with it now

Excellent! 18x18x24 are fun to build in! Can't wait to follow along

Last month I went to the big reptiles show in Sacramento Ca and picked up two Red-eyed tadpoles. One of them died right after it had all four legs out and now I have only one, fully transformed into a little froglet.


I myself am after a 24x18x36 and having a hard time finding one.

Thanks, guys! I like to think I picked up a few things watching you two

I think I might move the boys in today just because I want the light from their tank on this one, move my other hood over to that one. I think I'll move one of the girls, but the one that scraped herself up will probably stay in QT until she's done a bit more healing. They've been eating and pooping, so obviously they adjusted well and are feeling okay. First night 3 crickets gone, second 2, and last night 1 was gone. Normally, I wouldn't even consider moving them out of qt at this point, but I'm more comfy knowing that they're from Paul. The 10 gallon qt was also good for my boys because they were babies when I got them, but these girls are considerably bigger and I do not want to keep them in there very long.

The cork background makes so much sense from the "Make it like a tree" standpoint. These frogs live in trees with vines, plants, branches etc, so I thought I'd go for it. It's a lot harder to pin my plants to, that's for sure!

Your plants will root to it super fast!

[LilyPad]

Good! I was hoping for that! They were so easy to pull off the great stuff background, they had only rooted into the LFS that they were planted with because there was no way for them to grip the great stuff. So it will be really nice to have them attach themselves firmly.

[LilyPad]

Just one question... I've never worked with dormant moss before. How wet do I have to keep it to get it growing? Just make sure it doesn't dry out?

Looks amazing! I can't wait to see your beautiful froggies in it!
