Finished changing tank to vertical :)

Are you happy with the terrarium? That's the main thing.

Regarding the light - I would be careful putting the mat under it - that could trap a lot of heat, melting the mat and being a possible fire risk.

yea I am happy with is as far as the 10 gal goes, want a bigger one...lol
I thought it looked a little bare so I added in my bamboo plant, I think it looks better...the light has a plastic cover and I have checked it for heat and it doesn't get too hot but will keep my eye on it and see how warm the mat is tonight when I shut it off
here is a pic with my bamboo plants look better?
you can see Little Gray at top right

Nice job! That must have been hard to build. So nice job.

Thank you! It wasn't too hard, just flipped my 10 gal up and cleaned it out, had to hot glue strips of my rubber matting to the liner of the open top so my screen lid would have a tighter fit then made a wall using a piece of drift wood so my soil wouldn't seep out on me when I opened the side door to change water n such.

It looks very vertical and full of nice hiding spots, good work!

These frogs do sit out in full sunlight (on days that aren't too hot), so your light may not be too bright for them. What kind of bulb do you have? You could also move the light farther away instead of blocking it with a mat.

Thank you! it is a florecent from a regular aquarium set up...will be getting a different one that will sit better on top...I will take the mat out and see how he likes it..

looks good...can you give some instructions about making a door??? And some more of the actual build/conversion would be really helpful...thanks
