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.

Oh Cheri, you are far too kind!
I have one new and some old pictures showing the sides, but it's hard to get a good picture that really shows the "depths" of the plants etc. Maybe I can try to film it... Anything, thanks again Cheri. It really warms my (and my girlfriend, who is also invovled) heart
