Very nice setup - reminds me of my Gray Treefrog vivarium. What do you have as substrate/in the bottom?

[Billy]

Yes, very nice.

im using eco earth (coconut fiber) i partly mix it with moss as well so that it helps keep the humidity level up in the tank.

i have also found its realy good for the frogs as when the dart across the tank for the crickets they easily wipe it out of their mouths, rather then swallowing chunks of soil.

they seem abit annoyed they are now working really hard for their dinner lol. hopefully it will stop them from becoming overweight.

Good thinking. Obesity can lead to all kinds of problems. In the wild they have to work for their dinner.

it would be really nice to get them as close as i can to there natural life. i know they are captive breed but if i can make there life a little bit more interesting for their benefit then i will.

i did read that every couple of months its good to change things around for them, just to make things more interesting and keep them stimulated rather then letting things become boring. plus it will also mean if i change some of the things they will have to work again to track down the crickets.

i dont plan on changing the plant and at first i will only move the branches around i will be testing the water before i do this as i dont want to overly stress them out.

That's a pretty good idea. When I worked at the Museum of Science in Boston we had enrichment programs for the mammals and birds, but none for the reptiles and amphibians. Many believe that herps don't need enrichment and they may be right, especially with amphibians. But I don't think we should paint all members of these classes with the same brush. Some are more active then others and others show some intelligence. Its these herps that may need enrichment. Besides what harm can come form it.
