Well this is my hello! i'm VERY new to all this terrarium stuff, i keep scorpions, not frogs for starters, which makes things a little different as far as set ups go but this is the most perfect place for 'aesthetically ideal' terrariums that i've been able to find and it helped me no end when i was researching making my new setup which is....

At present i will be keeping one emperor scorpion in there but i have plenty of room for at least two more which will be in time. The tank was literally finished yesterday so i need wait a few weeks for the plants to settle and take root, especially as emperors are notorious burrowers and will gladly throw out anything they don't like!

Anyways , i hope i can help others like you lot have helped me!

That is great! to keep down burrowing and removal of your plants you mifgr want to incluse more "layabout" bark pieces and some flat rock.

Yeah i was thinking of that, ill need some flat rock surfaces in there anyway if i want her to mate so it will definitely be done eventually. i've got loads of wood and rocky areas in my other tank and the little f**ker still burrows like crazy, they do it to regulate their body temperature you see so theres not too much that can be done to stop it. Ive put in 3 layers of chicken wire between the water and the substrate, hopefully that should stop her drowning herself lol
