Here are some pics of my FBT home. I wouldn't quite call it a vivarium or terrarium since it's pretty bare, so we'll stick with set-up
I've had my 4 guys & gals for about 3 months, they spent their first month in a terrestrial set-up with a large water bowl before I changed it to the set-up you see here, and they seem to be much happier and a lot more active. They never made any noise in the terrestrial set-up, but now they call all the time.
My goal this May when I move back home from school is to move them into a 20+ gallon tank (I have an old fish tank at home, it's either a 20 or 25 gallon) and to actually make a naturalistic set-up. I didn't want to silicone plexi in this tank since I want to use it for terrestrial red+black walking frogs once the FBTs move out.
My Zilla 10G tank uses aquarium gravel for the water portion, and EcoEarth for the land portion which is sperated from the water portion by T-Rex's turtle beach landing foam piece. I have a simple small aquarium plant in there for resting and for cricket drown-proofing, and a small tree trunk hideout on the land portion.
The only problem I have with this set-up is that the water turns brown from the EcoEarth being pumped throught the foam. I cleaned the tank 2 hrs before these pics were taken and it's already turning brown. I put a piece of plexi between the earth and foam but it obvi didn't help. Like I said before I don't want to silicone it because I want to use this tank in the near future for terrestrial frogs. All I need is a nice background and we'll be all set
Criticism is greatly encouraged, I'm here to learn
