I really like the concept. It's great!

The only thing I would say is that the succulent plants you have will not live long in a high humidity environment. Don't be surprised when they either rot or get really leggy. Your main bromeliad which is a Guzmania will die off after it's flower is spent. But it will produce many offsets emerging from the lower leaf axles.

Really original. I like it.

ya i knew the succulant plants wouldnt live but i did not know that about the bremeliad...my grandparents own a large greenhouse that deals with mostley tropicals so plants are usually pretty easy to get ahold of.. thanks for the feedback

............and forgive my horrid spelling ha

That looks great! Definitely one of the best I've ever seen that don't try to replicate a natural setting. I think I'm going to stick it.

RETF's need larger leafed plants. The viv looks ok by itself, but I think the frog will be stressed if it doesn't have big leaves to climb on and hide under.
