Red Eyed Tree Frog - Habitat Questions

Beautiful remodel you did there. I love it.

Thanks Kiwibaby.

Today I am remodeling my Whites Tree Frog enclosure too. Should be interesting and hopefully as fun as doing the one pictured above.

I think I have everything in place to get it done except a few larger background pieces. This remodel is being done only due to needing a substrate change. It will be more open and less live plants.

Why are you getting rid of the live plants?

I probably said that wrong. The White won't get as much added as this Red Eyes enclosure. I have some to add but not so full looking.

I'm going to try and create three levels. One with some live plants that already exist in the setup, going into a higher level with some leaf litter, plantation soil, and structures, then a higher level with the existing bromalaid and the ESU Jungle Mix and some leaf litter.
I'm heading to the pet shop and plant shop here in a few minutes :-)

Ok, think I'm all set with the exception of the water dish which has been my nemesis. Now, I said I was not going crazy with the live plants and only a few but only a few turned into more than a few since the Pothos was pretty big.

The Whites were not too happy coming out for the transformation and one stayed in to watch the show.
To accommodate the large pot holding the Golden Pothos, I used a piece of driftwood with a "Y" and dropped the pot down into the "Y" section in the top corner.

The water dish is suspended (kind of) since it is sitting on the Magnolia leaf litter and needs time to flatten out. I'll have to figure this out since they seem to prefer the little terracotta cups I have over the big dish. This worries me since the bigger frog sits on the littlest one and sinks him when in the cup. I'll need to put up signs with seating arrangements huh?
