Terrarium and Table

Congrats on enclosure and the table, it looks very nice . I like those themed ET backgrounds. If only could figure out a way to remove material from back to make skinnier without it crumbling into pieces .

i am not in love with that background. i may or may not keep it in there. my frogs are young and very small and will still be on the small side when they go in there. i hate to think of them getting trapped back there. i might wait until they are full grown to add it.

I think they attach pretty snugly, but I guess for mine I did go a size too big and trim down for as snug as possible.

this is what i have so far- and no, i won't look this way when i finish, just collecting things i will need, or like in the setup. i won't have substrate until the frogs are mid-sized, and i know they are both eating ok. i stuck a pothos in there bc i had an extra. i am getting a zoo med forest background, which looks like tree bark. i figure that it will be better for gray tree frogs to have a bark-looking background. still need a water dish, and some fake plants that suction on, and maybe a fake vine.

I know you're set on a different background, but I had one more thought that might make this one work for you if you didn't want to buy another..... when I was trimming mine I got a little sloppy on the sides at one point, so there was just a very small gap. I wasn't worried about my frog getting back there, but my goal was to make it FF proof. I took some of the moss and just plugged that crack up and it completely fixed the issue and kind of looks nice too. I really think that's a cool background you have, but I think a tree look would be good too of course. Just offering up suggestions to make that work for you, or anyone else who might read this and have that issue.

thank you. i already ordered my forest background, but i will keep this one in storage and maybe someday i'll get bored and put this one back in. i don't hate it, but i don't love it, either. i do worry about crickets hiding behind this one, bc it has the channels for wiring. not sure about the new background, but i may or may not have to tweak it for cricket prevention.

yeah, if you don't want the spot for wires on the back you can just trim it to be flat on the back. That's what I did, because I wanted to make it fly proof, but also wanted it as thin as possible in my small tank.
