Custom Vivarium Build Log

[JSG]

Jason, those frogs in the viv you've build will only compliment one another, BRAVO! And please keep us updated with pics as the viv settles in...I would love to see those tree fern panels as they grow in! You mentioned that the Great Stuff doesn't do so well, so yeah I'm waiting to see your experiment going!

Thanks! They were taken with a Canon 40D / Sigma 150 f/2.8 macro

Other people seem to have better luck, but the silicone holding the dirt that I plaster over the great stuff always seemed to break down and fall off over time.

I heard about that, so I tried mixing the silicon and dirt into a mud and smearing it onto the GS. It came out nice and looked neat but, the different densities of the "mud" separated while drying. leaving white cracks of GS all over. -_- I bandaged it with the typical method of pressing dirty into the silicon and came out way better than before.

Jason,

Those are some great pictures. I'm hoping to get a new camera soon to take better images with. My phone camera just does not cut it.

I finally got my frogs i got 2 froglets, hoping for male+female but I guess I wont know till they mature lol. They are both doing alot of hiding right now, wish my camera was good enough to get some pics of them :/

I don't know what I want more, those frogs, that setup, or your skills

[Grrrit]

Way cool! I hope they do well. I'm sure they will in a home like that.
