Ideas for a beginner viv?

Check a Petsmart storefront, I picked up that water dish last week at a Petsmart near my house and they had 3 left when I bought mine!

Exactly where do you live? Soleley for curiosity. I would never come and jack you up for your wicked cool leaf dish. *looks shifty*

. Thanks for the heads up, I'll try that tomorrow.

Will,

I called and found the dish at a local Petsmart. Headed out to pick it up now.

Thanks again.

Phew, now I can cancel the order for the bars for my windows! :-) Glad you found it! Its a cool little piece that lights up the tank!

Here is the structure of our viv, plants and branches will follow.

Our species dilemma was solved by Craigslist. I will be picking up our free Red-Eyed Leaf Frog when this is done. The catch is that we're now making a habitat for two FBTs that the guy is re-homing too. He's kept the frog and toads in the same tank for a year so I'm a little apprehensive, but he says they're all healthy. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the frog hasn't sustained any long term injuries from the toad toxins.



The waterfall took a lot more space than anticipated so if anyone has ideas on how to suspend planters from the sides I would LOVE it.

Really any advice or comment besides "boo you suck" (I have a fragile ego ) would be great.

Good luck!
red eyed leaf frogs are gorgeous frogs, so are fire bellied toads, but keeping them together is not a wise choice, I hope the red eyes haven't (as you said) gotten any injuries from the toxins. Good on you for taking the frogs though, and providing them with the correct care needed
I'm sure your tank will turn out lovely, don't stress. It's looking good so far, Can't wait to see it finished

first off, let me say, the viv looks great so far as far as hanging planters from the sides. Devin at ripariumsupply.com has them for ripariums, however, he is very well versed in terrariums, paludariums, ripariums as well as vivs. look him up, i think he'll have what you need :-)

Thanks Kristen, I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the health of the RETF and my ability to care for it.

Bill,
I checked that site out, it's got some great ideas. I may try to jury rig something similar. Why buy when you can make?

BTW, do deranged chipmunks really try to eat peoples' faces off or is that blatant propaganda spread by those evil squirrels?
