    This sounds really cool! Especially the temperate forest one; I've been wanting to make one myself. I'm curious though, how do you plan to simulate a temperate forest in a vivarium? Are you planning on finding plants similar to those found here in North America, or are you going to try and find native plants that can survive in a vivarium year-round?

    Can't wait to see how this turns out. I think everyone likes a good viv build...

    The other enclosure that I will have in the same room needs to be temperature controlled because of many different variables. I am planning on doing a captive breeding and potentially releasing offspring back into the wild so I'm going the extra mile to make sure I have accurate weather and climate conditions to where the animals are from. So the temperate forest for this project is going to also have the benefit of at least experiencing the same conditions with temperature and humidity fluctuations.

    I used to work for a plant nursery for almost 10 years so I know of plants that exist in the specific zone that my toads are from. I have a few projects on the forum already talking about some of the native plants. They are more difficult than some would think but they are worth it if given a shot and if they are given the right conditions.
