Fire-Bellied Toads, Am I doing it right?

What about a coco panel? You'd need to silicone it in tho, not sure if this would be safe... would be a good question for dart frog keepers as they might have done this. Unless you drain the water and remove the toads and only put them in once the smell has went? Bromeliads can be planted in this

If your going to silicone anything into your viv/terrarium that's going to require a nice bit of silicone you will have to remove your live plants. The fumes from the silicone while curing will kill them. Jason remember awhile back when your green tree frog went behind your background and we were trying to figure out a way to solve it and we thought of using silicone to attach it. I remember Bill came to rescue and told us not to unless everything was taken out because of the fumes killing everything. And Bill makes some of the nicest vivs for dart frogs I have seen and his knowledge of plants is amazeing, just thought I would throw that out there.

Good point and I remember that. Others have told me the same thing. I think LilyPad killed all her plants once, too. My thought was to use as little as possible and run a fan directly into the tank to help reduce fumes. It wouldn't be too hard to remove the plants and probably the safest move.

Sorry to thread jack Marinecrab!
