I have a question for you. When all your frogs are able to be together, what are your caging plans?

Well, Martha and Lucy all ready have a medium-tall Exo-Terra that they will be going into, once I get their strongloide worms under control. I'll be dosing them with ivermectin (as soon as I'm feeling well enough to tackle the job without poking anyone's eye out!) and then again in two weeks. I've collected various decor, a big roll of repticarpet, and a few different dishes so I can decide what I want to use for soaking/feeding, etc. I also have a waterfall filter thingy, but not sure if I will be using that in this particular enclosure or not. I have fake plants galore and some live pothos and sanseveria I can use. My idea is to use the "KISS" method (Keep it Simple Silly!) in setting up my guys permanent enclosures; I want it to look nice, and I want it to make them comfortable, but I also want to be able to clean things easily and help keep bad organisms at bay or at least under control. I'm very tempted to do a natural living vivarium, but it's not something I want to try while we are living in this dinkwad apartment. Once we are able to get a house, and a "frog cave", I'll be able to set up more permanent planted setups without worry of having to dig up and break everything down in able to move. I was going to put Shirley, Honey and Jelly Bean in a 40 gallon bow front I have in storage, but with my back issues I think I would much rather get them an Exo-Terra as well, and take advantage of those front opening doors!

We have the one in the center

Some of the plants I have to use (gave away the dieffenbachias) Planning on using the dracaenas and the sanseverias, and the Golden pothos




Lucy and Martha's Exo-Terra is sitting up on a chest of drawers, but the other guys enclosure is going on this (we still have it in the box)


Will be using these freshwater grow lights from AquaTraders (6500K T5s) for lighting for the plants and then my double deep mini domes for the day and night heat bulbs like I do now.



All of my "wood" decor is aquarium grade imitation, any stones (too large to digest) are tumbled and polished.


I don't have this rock cave looking one yet but want it bad!
