Awww. You must take a pic of that! I got my terrarium a week ago but I have been too busy to start anything with it as yet. Yours has inspired me to get to work.

Very nice!! Water is so clean and nice plants. I could never spend the time making a glass divider.

My toads became very dark green. Is it possible to be some camouflage reaction since the rocks and the substrate are dark aswell ?

Yeah they do have a bad habit of doing that. The more light green plants you add the lighter they will be. I added white rocks as my bottom under the water and also as much green moss as I could to cover the floor. The little boulders I use for them to rest on I also switched from a grey color to an almost white one with speckles. I kept adding things to lighten it up and eventually they went back to the bright green color we all like.

Yes, a couple of my fire bellies have changed color--one that likes to hide in a clay pot-- I buried on it on it's side, with about half below the substrate surface. My substrate is very dark & that frog has become very dark--I have a hard time finding him sometimes! And another of my frogs loves to sit on top of a fake 'cave' from the pet store. It has lime green "leaves" on the top and she has become lighter green & a more lime shade. She sits there so much I renamed her to Limestone.
