Experimental Frog/Toad Tank: Build Log with Pics.

[froggsong]

All in all, I am very satisfied with it, and have become very attached to my "what I had laying around" tank. I do want to add some more vining plants up at the very top of the tank for my golden, but I will do that when we move. I also want to recover the landings in the water area when we move. That way they have time to cure while the animals wont be in the tank. It just goes to show what you can do when you use a little imagination.

i wanted to say, this viv is NASTY looking

But nasty in a good way. Alot of "out of the box" ideas and various "should not do this" and it gives it real personality. I really like it.

It's vivs like these that make me feel even better about the way I think: It's not about the perfectly constructed vivs. Its not about the perfect planned viv. It's about the well being of the animals, and with a little patience, you can make anything into a beautiful, beneficial vivarium for whatever animals you choose.

Had to make that my first post!

Ok, I'm having trouble accepting "nasty" as a compliment, but, uh... thanks? I guess? I think I know what you mean...

I also just realized that there are no newer pics of this tank up. I'll have to get some up soon.

lol. .people have trouble accepting me in general, but trust me, it's completely a compliment.

I wanted to use the term frankentstein, but that didn't do it justice.

here, let me put it like this. It's not as elegant or as fluid and some builds, but it's every bit as beautiful. You brought beauty to something where it didn't belong. You had a vision. It's like looking into the soul of someone you thought was a monster, but had beauty within? Now i'm getting to deep, but I hope it makes sense. It's 100% a compliment, and actually, I've caught myself thinking of this off and on sine i read about it. That's saying something. When someone across the country thinks about your viv and what's great about it on their drive home from work, you've succeeded.

i hope you understand. I dont mean to insult at all

See, that's what I thought you meant. You're right, that's definitely a compliment, and a great one at that. It's pretty cool that you've been thinking about it. Thank you.
