Hi, looks good. My one suggestion if you want the to do more terrestrial setup as you have I would put a bigger dish in there for them and maybe put a plant or something on the edge of it or sitting in it for some coverage. I find my guys really like hanging out in the water on there lilypads, and I notice my guys when eating will take the cricket into the water a lot to eat it then come back out for another when its gone. Again its only a suggestion and all in all it looks good.

thank you! the water dish is an xl, it does look small on in the picture but yeah there is more land in there and would like to get more water in my set up at some point. i'm thinking of getting a bigger tank at some point and separating the land with cork bark to make a decent sized pool and plant it with aquatic plants, possibly lily pads like yourself, they'd be pretty cool.

I feel you need a lot more water. My 10 gallon tank is 60 percent water and my two FBT's spend almost all their time in or at least in contact with the water. They do go on the dry part some, but typically just to grab a cricket or get away from each other. They especially prefer to be in the cave in the water as opposed to the one on the dry.

i've changed the water dish and i think this one looks much better

Just my opinion, but I still think there is not enough water. With that small amount, your chemistry is going fluctuate from one extreme to the other. I'd imagine you'd have to change water daily. My FBT's like both shallow and deep water. I use a gallon of water in my 10 gallon viv. The entire bottom of the viv is wet. I use gravel piled up to just above the water line for my land areas and then top that with substrate for my plants. The plus on that is the plants can sink their roots to the water and I don't have to fuss with them. I generally change the water weekly, but even when it's been over 11 days, my ammonia and other stats are still within safe limits.

Take a look at the pics this user posted....... http://www.frogforum.net/showthread.php?t=34637 That's a fine setup IMO. You can see how they piled up the gravel then added the land above the water line. Your viv look like an exxoterra and they are able to support a wet bottom.
