PLANT UPDATE! [for the new vivarium]
NEW PLANTS!
up until last week, the viv. look like this...a little under planted and in need of something more. BEFORE  AFTER  I went up to white plains for the reptile expo, and picked up a bunch of new plants from black jungle...a number of Tillandsia[one in mid-bloom], a large Bromeliad, a few vining plants, and a fern. If you look closely, you can see where I also added a layer of coco bedding background to the screen top frame.  here is the Tillandsia in mid-bloom.  a shot of the ground level to show how its set up...there is a piece of cypress in the back with a plant through it..i changed the water dish and layed down some mat moss, and some java moss in the dish. you can see the large Bromeliad as well.  back in after planting...  then, right to sleep as usual I have more detailed pictures of the plants/placement if you'd like to see them...just let me know! and again, feel free to leave any opinions or feedback!!

Your frog is very cool!!!!

Just curious, what kind of watering system do you have in there?
What I mean is everytime I see setups like that they always have misting systems built in as well as waterfalls, drainage piping etc... Some have elaborate venting systems and automatic lighting.. Anything like that in there?
