Paludarium build

[hroney]

My first paludarium! I've never built a vivarium or anything but saw all the awesome threads on here and tried to learn from you guys - thanks! I think it turned out alright for my first time ��

Looks good! Nice job on your first build!

What dart frogs are you looking at doing?

[hroney]

What would you recommend? I was thinking D leucomelas or D azureus probably - I'm not too picky. I lived in Madagascar for a couple years so a Madagascar glass frog would be awesome too - I'll keep my eyes out for one and if I can't find one maybe I'll get a dart frog or two.

I added a light to the water on the bottom and a couple things here and there

My canyon tree frogs are loving their new set up - you may have to look close to see them.

that's a tough call. a pair of either would work. but with the lack of climbing areas, i would say the azureus. but they will definitely need more cover.

Thanks! Yeah Madagascar is not too great with customs/visas/trade it's crazy over there! But waaay neat! Imagine the frog setups you could accumulate if you lived in Madagascar and could just go out with some Malagasy people to help you catch frogs on the weekends!

Azureas would be awesome. I'll work on getting some more cover in there. At latest, May is an expo here (salt lake area) so the tank should be plenty ready by then (:

Good luck getting a Madagascan glass frog, with the exception of mantellas, tomato frogs and one or two boophis species, not much is available. Glass frogs in general are hard to come by. Living in Madagascar for a while, I'm sure you realize how stringent their export laws have become, surprising considering the widespread corruption.

I like the underwater light, btw. I'm not normally a fan of them. I find them to be a bit gimmicky, but yours is done well.
