Here's a few pics of my new vivarium. It's 20"x12"x12", or about 13gal. The glass is about 3/16" thick and is from old slider windows. The trim on the base is standard wood trim painted black. The trim on the top is plastic and I think from a door sweep. The hinge on the front door is a zinc-plated piano hinge held on with clear silicone. The brass locking latch is held on with silicone as well. The lid isn't quite finished, it's eggcrate to be strong enough to hold a cat and will be lined with window mesh to keep crickets in and cat hair out. Nylon should be ok for crickets here as they wouldn't likely have much time to chew on it out in the open with frogs nearby.

The background is styrofoam covered in quikrete. The water dish is the same construction as the backdrop. Some GreatStuff expanding foam was used between the 'tree' and the background, then covered in silicone+cocofibre. The fungi on the right side are the hard woody kind and are held to the glass with silicone. Hydroton covered in nylon window screen mesh make the false bottom. The substrate is coco-fibre mixed with semi-decomposed leaf litter, covered in oak leaf litter.

There's a couple of planters near the top of the background, one has a pothos in it, the other an ivy. I rammed moss in all over, I'm hoping it will grow, mostly for looks. It's sparse now, but the pothos will soon take over and provide most of the cover.

All I need now is a couple weeks of growing and to decide what's going in it. I could move 2 Gray treefrogs in and free up a 20gallon long for a fire-bellied toad construction. I was also considering an American Green Treefrog, Hyla Cinerea. I am also working on a larger 26"x16"x16" vivarium that will be the permanent home of the Gray treefrogs, but this is a few months away.

Thanks for looking!
