Let's see those Frog and Toad Enclosures!

[SludgeMunkey]

While seeing the animals themselves is great, I for one would like to see what other folks use/build for their Anurans.

Show us what you have!

I think this is a great idea! I've already had a few "why didn't I think of that?" moments while looking at other members photos.

My sentiments exactly!

That's Peter my baby Leopard in his very basic 10 gallon home.

I know this is an older posting, but it looks like it's been revived, and my camera finally works again, so here's my tree frog tank. My husband was kind enough to get me the 20G hex as a b-day pressie a few years ago, and I've got it stocked w/ lots of plants and 2 big-eyed tree frogs. The water bowl is hidden in the back behind the foliage. There is currently a "bald" spot at the front where the bowl used to be kept. I'm hoping to get some moss to cover that area. In daylight, the frogs usually nap on the rear wall (the humidity's kept toward the high end, so they don't burrow too often), and all night long, they scoot around the tank, meeping and looking for crickets.

I love seeing what people's terrariums look like, so I hope other people keep this thread alive for a while longer.

Wow, awesome set up! Not to be rude about a present, but any idea on how much a hex like that would go for?

I took these pictures yesterday. The frogs tank is starting to get more filled out with foliage now. I got some Helxine from someone over on Caudata and I've just stuffed it in the soil in the hope it will take, that's the green messy bit in front of the water pool.

I also have some catnip growing in a pot buried in the soil as I am trying to grow some on without my cats getting to it first! I don't think the frog minds!

I'm happier with the look of the tank now the plants are growing, though it makes it harder to see Ernie as he hides under the fiscus plant at the back!

[SludgeMunkey]

Looking good people! Let's keep those pictures coming in!

My own current enclosures are pretty basic looking at the moment. I have a backlog of projects in process, none of which are suitable for public consumption...yet...

[adawinters]

Tell me about it. I think next summer's project will be to redo the leopard gecko enclosure, since it's pretty sparse at the moment. But I really do love seeing people's terrariums... even when they're "in progress." One can never get enough inspiration.

Here is a few shots of the temporary quarters for my Acris crepitans ssp.

[adawinters]

i love the moss, especially the shape it makes in the water; it's like a mini island!

I just got my first frog as a pet a month ago, so I'm not sure if i'm doing her enclosure right! She seems happy and content, so I think so. I'm thinking of getting another big branch to put in there for her to climb, but not sure where to put it yet.

Lovely enclosure but taller is always better - Gray Tree Frogs are one of the most arboreal of all American Tree Frogs and like to stay up all the time. They will do this if they have plenty of cover and perches up in the "trees".

[ponder]

I am on the hunt for a vertical tank. I am getting one as soon as I can, I know she'd love the extra climbing room. would a 15 gal tall work well? Any ideas as to where I could find one?

[John]

15 is a good size. I actually use one of the small exo-terra vertical terrariums, but those are orver rated (and way over priced). You'd be better off buying one of the same shape that is sold as just the terrarium (not in a kit like the Exo-Terra). I believe Petco in the US sells the kind I'm talking about that is not sold in a kit. The brand is Zoo Med I think? I believe I link it in the Gray Tree Frog article.

[ponder]

so something like this?. What size would be good for just one frog? or the Zilla version here. I think I like the second one a little better

Here's Kermit's Home

[smashtoad]

This is the home of my 3 yellow terribilis. It will be 2 years old in October. The landscape has changed somewhat since this shot. That thing on the left that looks like something outta Dr. Suess I got at Meier...it's from Brazil. Don't remember the name, but it was like the coolest thing ever. Even though it was a streamside plant...I still think I rotted it in saturated sphagnum, which is all I have in this tank (on top of the gravel, that is).

Here'a a couple of mine (they're all 20 Gallon Long)


D. Auratus Tank


D. Tinctorious "Suriname Cobalt" Tank


D. Leucomelas Tank


I have more recent pictures, but they're still in my camera.
I'll start my own thread for my pics so I don't end up hijacking this one.
