Let's see those Frog and Toad Enclosures!

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 think it was ~165. It's really designed for fish, so the main problem I've had w/ it is ventillation. The top is designed w/ openings just big enough for a light and filter. I wound up building a mini DIY screen lid so that I could let out the humidity and get fresh air in there, which is especially needed in summer. (Before the screen, the light kept the tank sealed off, except for the filter hole, which I'd already screened off.) I basically used window screening that's weighted in place to prevent escape. It would be pretty easy to build a frame for such a screen and screw it in place, but hey, duct tape was handier. (You can see some of the duct tape in the pics that show off the frogs.)

Actually, dendroboard.com has ALOT of discussion on DIY terrarium projects, if you're interested. I don't have any dart frogs, but I've started lurking on the site for design inspiration. There are some pretty good terrarium discussions on this site too; I've just noticed that dart frog hobbyists get particularly caught up in the aesthetic of the enclosure design, and one can never read too much.
