PA Woods Vivariums

What plants do you have specifically? Are they native Pennsylvania plants or something else? If native, how did you acquire them?

So for the 125 Gallon Western PA Woods I have these plants
Autumn Sedum
Autumn Fern
Pachysandra
2 Species of Coral Bells
Primrose
Day Lilly
Moss
Attempting to grow Scallions soon

I selected all these plants but scallions from a local plant nursery that I worked at for 7 years and the place where I caught the exact toads that I have. The toads in the wild would actually hangout in the plants I chose but I got a light to try a few new species like the Autumn Sedum. I have them free of the fertilizer used. It was months before the toads interacted with the plants. This build was as close to wild as I could do because it's supposed to be as authentic to the PA Woods as possible.

The Pine Creek PA Woods will have native wild plants and a Cranberry Plant. I have a friend who works on water shed resources as he treats wetlands to prevent from pollution and he has various plants that are legal for me to attempt. I am also considering using a Mum possibly.








I finally got some devices working again...

I got the fan connected to the Repti Temp Controller and then I got the fogger connected to the Zoo Med Timer. So the good news is I put good use to some of the devices. The bad news is the Mistking Mister didn't work for the PA Woods so I took it out and added it to my White's Tree Frog enclosure. It for some reason worked fine in there so I decided to give it to the tree frogs. This means that I now have a decision and a lot of time to decide which Misting System I will use for my enclosure.

The amphibians are doing great and the next video will be a Perspective Video on the Amphibians of the Western PA Woods
Ace
Pious
Christian
The video will be featuring these animals and I am very excited that I get to share different information on these animals.
Is there anything you want to know about any or all of these three amphibians?

There is not much news on these guys I was focused on the animals of another enclosure all this past week but I can say everyone is doing well.

One sad note. The baby gray tree frog didn't make it. I believe it was a female and it was about the size of my pinky nail. We still have a problem finding two females for Bane and Christian. Let's hope that we can find some for their sake so they can breed.

After the first Perspective video comes out the next Swarms Battle is coming. One big thing is I'm going to a reptile expo tomorrow which could mean there is a feeder insect that I could choose to use in a Swarms Battle. I'll let you know if I find a feeder insect that will make it in a future video. Is there a certain insect if I find it you want me to get for a video?

I said in another thread about how this might be the year of my White's Tree Frog. Around Thanksgiving would you want to see a verses video between the Western PA Woods and the Dumpy Family and the enclosure who receives the most votes will be the winner?

What would you like to know in a perspective video featuring care of each specific animal or them as a group?
