    Thank you! I am waiting to see if more people would be interested in checking out this tank if it had a Facebook page.

    Some updates:
    So the idea of mimicking shark week will be attempted instead of picking a specific species per month I will be dedicating a week in May for "Amphibian Week" this will be for the American Toads and possibly a new inhabitant pair sharing this week with them. July will be "Reptile Week" focused on a week of videos for the Skinks. I'll have a big announcement soon with the future for possible expansion and new inhabitants. The next video will be starring Ace and Pharaoh as the Apex predators being they will be the largest inside the vivarium for the respected species. Another video will release on Pious, the female Skink, and the introduction of the offspring Ruby. This video will feature how the other inhabitants coexist being the smaller one of their species and also highlight Rubies experience into the enclosure. The video of Ace and Pharaoh may be out around early February and it will be a little bit for the other video with Pious and Ruby. Please let me know if you would like and follow a Facebook page for this enclosure! More updates coming soon! Like and subscribe to the YouTube channel for this tank and see the inhabitants!

    Sounds awesome, I have a question though. So I have this 26 bowfront with a small pond in the front and it’s pretty saturated ground. I’m thinking about getting some chorus frogs for the tank and planting it with native plants. How many chorus frog could live in the tank?

    Very interesting because I would think that 4 to start with would be good and wait and see how much space they use. It's better to have more land being occupied. How tall is your tank? Certain iris plants grow in water so you can use them. Duckweed works Pachysandra likes those conditions too. I don't think the Millipede idea is good because they would drown in that setup. I agree that a bioactive setup is best so yes have insect colonies that can establish for the frogs to hunt which works best with a lot of space which means so many frogs for so much space. I will have to attempt Banded and European Pet store Crickets in my setup because they make a nice noise and aren't opportunistic on the animals like you hear because the crickets eat Moss and dead plant matter. The Earwig and Stone Centipede were interesting to me but they can be destructive on plants and Earwigs can climb glass! Woodlice and Earthworms of any kind are good to have an overabundance of and establish inside the enclosure as well. Your setup is very nice to look at. You would get some views for that on YouTube. It's a nice setup. If you have questions how I do things or ideas post on here and I'll make sure to get back to you!
    Good luck

    Okay, thanks for the info, I actually found a couple millipedes on the dry side today and some worms, springtails are all in the water and haven’t seen the isos m and will get some more powered blues, porcellio spinocornus and t rathkii for isopods. For crickets I’m thinking just getting some ground crickets, they are a small native species that sound like a baby bird. The water will 100% have some algae and duckweed, and what ever hitch hikes on with that. I think I’ll just get a group of 20-25 eggs and see which ones survive and then move some to my tupperware 10 gallon tank

    I forget to get a pic of the tank as of now, not much has changed just increased water level, raised the land and put in a nice piece of wood and for plants I’ll just use marsh marigolds and grass

    If you haven't seen these videos they are from the 75 Gallon across the 3 generations of the tank. Check them out!

    So cool, do you know if a nepenthes pitcher would work with chorus frogs? It would ruin the native feel, but they just look so cool

    Ace comes out to greet me and to see if I have some food for her.

    Pharaoh wakes up and explores his territory.

    Ruby basking getting ready to join Ace and Pharaoh among the others.

    Just to get you excited for the video with Ace and Pharaoh here are some pictures that just happened of a documented interaction between them. It is common they cross paths but it's hard to get on camera. I'm waiting to get my new camera to release this video because I can't show you how active the skink is. He freezes everytime I come towards the tank. When I get the camera I'll leave it rolling and leave so I can get some video of him potentially feeding on video and just exploring his territory.
