I think it looks wonderful. That's kindof how I envisioned it when you first posted the thread. It has turned out great! I absolutely LOVE a vertical tank.

Very Nice. Glad you were finally able to get your pics up too.

So what about the door for the viv?

For the door I just have a peice of glass that fits and I am holding it in with a peice of tape. No hinges or anthing. The door for the the hood hangs down about 1/4 inch over the glass so once I get a latch on the door that should hold it in on the top and I won't need tape anymore. I think it might be better that way just totally removeable rather than dealing with hinges.

I'm still thinking about drilling some holes in the top with some fans to try to prevent fogging still trying to decide.

p.s. right now I have a cuban treefrog in there he totally dissapears during the day he hides so well I have never seen him except at night. In his old enclosure I could at least find his hiding place. So I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a critter that is active during the day.

I've never had any cubans so I'm not familiar with thier habits apart from what I've heard on here and other forums. From what I've heard they're pretty aggressive and eat other frogs. Would definitely have to be something equal in size. Even then you'd have to know the other species really well because the cuban might out compete the other species for food.

Yeah I've heard they are pretty aggressive too. I don't plan on keeping them in the same place. I just want something more active during the day in my nice viv that everyone looks at.

How about Cuban Brown Anoles Anolis sagrei . They are days active and believe me they are very active hunting for food and breeding if you have a pair.

Need your help. Just registered and cannot find how to post... I just found a large tree frog. grey approx 3" in length. Looks like he was hit by a weed eater and has a nasty wound on the nose area (you can see down into his mouth) and his skin is open on his left hind leg. No muscle damage just skin removed. His is breathing OK and looks like he has been alive since this AM. Not quite sure what to do. I have some experience with exotics and will do whatever I need to do to help this little guy out if there is anything??
Thanks for your help
John

JohnEDove,
