    If it were me I would wait a couple days after the smell is completely gone since it has all been curing in a tank that has higher humidity in it already. I might just be paranoid but I think it is better to err on the side of caution

    Good rule of thumb I have heard is to let the plants "Grow in" (let the roots get good and set) for 2 weeks or so, but I think this is largely up to personal preference. I personally am going to let my new Terrarium grow in for a few weeks. This will also allow me to tweak the temp/humidity settings and get the new environment dialed in before the frogs move in and have to go through that roller coaster ride too.

    I completely agree, I let my current viv grow in for two months before I put my frogs in there. I guess it all really depends on the level of urgency to move the frog(s) to the new enclosure.
