My Aneides lugubris tank

[HewesHort]

I just redid my salamander tank and decided i should post a photo. this is not a very good shot, im still learning to use this digi camera. sorry about the flash its overcast, and the damn thing is automatic. im going to set up my tripod when the weather clears and try to get a better shot.






im waiting for the plants to fill in a little more before adding anything else. currently the tank contains

fibrous begonia
spider plant
dracena
grape leaf ivy
maranta
needle leaf ivy

looks like a nice little garden there hewe. keep us updated as it fill in.

I wish I had some more spider plant babies... I had one, and I've nearly killed it (I accidentally smashed it when I redid the frog tank recently). I have been looking in the garden center of every store I shop in to uh... "adopt" some babies, but no one seems to have spider plants! I really do love them, my mom had them when I was little and they were my fave, along with the pothos she trained to grow as a living border around the ceiling in the kitchen (I wish I had pics of that, it was gorgeous).

Looks good hewe, I think it will look great once it fills in and grows out to look a little less freshly placed. My most recent rebuild looked all willy nilly with the plants not all pointing at the light when I planted it too. Now it looks awesome! Be sure to post us a new pic in a week or two, ok?

thanks for the replies! i need to find my tripod, i think ive got the lighting figured out. the manatra has already turned towards the light. you cant see it in the pic but i have a 150w cfl that lights the whole thing. i plan to build a decent lid with fans misters and moon light as soon as i get some funds.

you are more than welcome hewe. i am always looking forward to anything you'll be doing so i think it's only right to tell you how good it looks. unless... lol

froggy, i know it may sound stupid but have you considered posting a donation type thread on craigslist with a handful of things you want? i'm sure there is someone out there wondering who to give their spider plant babies to. i'm also confident you can think of other things you'll want or need that someone has and hasn't thought about clearing out. it's worth a shot.
