Broadleaf forest vivarium

[flybyferns]

Good Morning,

It's important to know what species of frog(s) will be housed?
Therefore, as you collect your supplies they will be suitable for the - frog- inhabitants.

You will need good lights, and a well drained ABG substrate.
ABG- ABG, Atlanta Botanical Gardens Mix | Reptile Substrate | Josh's Frogs
Consider drilling your enclosure - for good drainage?
If this is your first build----- I will guarantee you --- you will never be sorry.

If you need help with the supplies for drilling/drainage let me know.
There is a thread around with instructions, photos of the supplies and part #s- from Home Depot.

A large ( tall as possible ) piece of wood to be the focal point----> the tree
? perhaps a tall hollow pc of cork - see: modular cork planters:
