[Katieasaur]

everything is already on its way from joshs
except i need to get plants and springtails at the show because i didnt want to pay an insane shipping cost

Ok so I've built a few terrariums in my day but never got into the foam backing, i get the consept but if you guys could answer a few ? for me. Do you just add the dirt to the foam as its drying? What are you siliconing? The foam? is that how the dirt sticks? Thanks

[Katieasaur]

yeah first you foam, let that dry, then silicone and do a small section at a time and stick the dirt to the silicone while its still wet

[IrishRonin]

Ok, thanks

[Katieasaur]

np
also I'm kind of wondering how many you guys think i should put in the tank
my research tends to come up with 6-8 but what do you guys think?
also if you think that there is a better frog than the leucs let me know

[Kisa]

I'd go with ten gallons per frog on this one, so 6 sounds perfect to me. I think, since their small and if you plant the tank right you'd be able to go to 8, but it depends on how many you want really.

Are you going to name all those little guys?

[Katieasaur]

prolly not hahahaha id never remember which one is which hahaha

[Katieasaur]

Just got my package from Joshs. YAY, now alls I need is bugs, plants and frogs

[LilyPad]

[Katieasaur]

[Katieasaur]

[LilyPad]

Katie, you did a fantastic job. That tank looks great and the frogs are super adorable! Do you have any type of high end pet store around? That is where I got my isopods.

[Katieasaur]

I have a couple a reptile shops but because they are all close to restaurants they are not allowed to carry anything other that crickets, mealworms, and hydei flies
