Hijack alert: strax, hehe, Who much? Lol a note about your design. Make sure you have a way to drain your substrate bowl. The frog will track water in there and it will amount up pretty quickly

Lol, you caught me! Huge Whovian! I actually also have a baby corn snake named Madame Vastra.
Thanks for the heads up on the drainage issue, Strax has spent so little time in his dirt that I've actually had the opposite problem, I'm always misting it to keep it from drying out, so the thought that it could get too wet never occurred to me, lol. How would you suggest I handle it?

Oh forgot to mention one other thing I'll be doing, I'm planning to get those little pots from IKEA with the hooks on them, planting them with Pothos, and hanging them off the back of the tank with the leaves trailing down inside. I figure that it should give the look of live plants without having to worry about them getting dug up.

Thanks for the ideas! Fred seems to be the opposite of Strax; he loves digging to the point where we nicknamed him the Land Shark. I've started putting much more substrate than when I first started off.

My main problem is that I have no construction or designing skills; I have no idea where even to start. And since Fred like to bulldoze his way through the tank, whatever goes in there has to be pretty sturdy and sturdy isn't the first thing that comes to mind when I think of my craftsmanship.
