I'll start this off with my latest build, a 15 gallon vertical for a pair of Dendrobates truncatus
There are updates after this pics such as monkey vines added but this will get the party started.

Here is mine... 35 gallon hex tank housing 4 gray tree frogs

You have to have some happy frogs in that viv Amy!

This is a work in progress for what will be the residence for a pair of gray tree froglets. Do excuse the scotch tape holding the branch to the glass while the silicone cures. The box is a zoo-med terrarium 12 x 12 x 18, which is just over 11 gallons. Still needs a couple of plants, maybe a vine, and some leaf cover.

This is my largest and oldest viv - a 36-gal bowfront that houses a pair of azureus. The second photo is with the fogger running.

Martin I will say it again, yours is the best Red Eye enclosure out there. If you post a picture from the side of the tank people will be able to see why I say that. You use all the verticle space with plants and vines. Red Eyes like to walk from branch to branch much like I think a Chameleon would. They will occasionally jump when startled but for the most part they will walk from branch to branch. The bigest flaw I see when people set up a Red Eye tank is that they will leave a lot of air space up above or large gaps from one side of the tank to the other. The frogs simply wont be using open air space and it goes to waste. Martin you have my vote for best enclosure not becuase it is the prettiest but because it is designed 100% with the frogs in mind. Not too many tanks can say that. If the frogs were voting... I think Martin would win.

This was for July. There is a new thread for August. I can not link it since I'm on my phone, but it's in the general section.
