Thread: Natural Terrarium?

  1. #1

    Default Natural Terrarium?

    Okay well yesterday I found another toad it looks the same as my first toad(still has him) but only 1 and a half inch long. Its also pudgier and the throat is darker(obvious male?). Well long story short I saved him from drowning through massaging the water out of his belly. Now hes healthy and calm. He doesnt seem afraid that much anymore when I pick him up like the other one is. In fact he keeps staring at me(kinda weird).
    Anywho my questions are:
    1)Does anyone know some terrestrial plants that are naturally found throughout their range that can go in a 30g tank? I have this large patch of moss that I want to disinfect(I dont know if thats possible) because it came into contact with my box turtles set up.
    2)What kind of plants would be good in a terrarium(low maintnance) that are nice to look at?
    3)Can I use a glue gun to glue some plexiglass to the floor? Iam kinda curious if the glue from a glue gun contains any bad chemicals.

    Just make sure your glue sticks are 100% silcone. Do some internet research on "plants for terrariums" and you can see pictures and names of the plants that you might like. Do some research.. thats the fun part of setting up an enclorsure.

    Nevermind about the glue. I just found some aquarium glue. Apparently home depot carries them? Weird huh??? As for the plants I just wanted to add a natural flare. I just wanted to go with plants native to new jersey. So Iam going for ferns, moss, grasses, and these plants that look like cabbages. :P I dont know. Or as you said I may just research some more and find tropical plants?

    You will. I havent showed much because Iam waiting on my new room first. :P Then Iama nag the crud out of my friend to let me post pictures on this site through his computer(its getting fixed too). When I take on a job or a hobby I always like to outdo myself and strut my creativity along with it. :P Its why Iam taking my time on my tanks. Ived been drawing out plans on what to do. Where things will go. You know like blue prints? Iam going to make a rain system so it rains whenever its raining outside. Or maybe a rainchamber. I could use an exo terra, use my pump and add slabs to add a rain system.
