    Default My wife wants to know why you........

    Made me bring home a Red Eye tree Frog!

    Brought home a new little friend today, a Red Eye Tree Frog. Poor little guy was all alone at Zoo Creatures so I just had to set something up for him.

    It is an hour each way for me and after I saw him I grabbed a pile of supplies I headed home to setup a new enclosure. Once setup was complete and seeing that humidity and temps were up to par, I decided I couldn't wait until Saturday to bring him home. So, another hour down and another hour drive back to place him in his new home.
    Made for a really great day.

    I used the following items in the Red Eye's new home:
    Exo-Terra Glass Terrarium (18X18X18) - definitely not inside height after I got done

    18" Zoo Med Compact top with 40 watt Zoo Med Blue Day Bulb and a 40 watt Zoo Med Red Night bulb

    Clay Balls bottom Layer which I didn't have a good understanding of so, instead of 2 inch, I have a 5 layer :-) I guess better drainage? I think it still looks pretty awesome.

    Jungle Mix for the top layer
    I sculpted a large drop into the back section and have added a water feature into the cork flat using a Zoo Med Waterfall Kit

    Added a corner top off with some Coco Fiber in the highest section

    Background is the foam stone back provided with the enclosure. Placed center in front of that is a cork flat which contains the water run off and left back is a tall cork round.

    Added misc fake plants and vines, another smaller cork round, and finally a Flukers Vine twisted.

    Hopefully he likes his new home.
