Mighty New World Part 3.

'Ello again lovies. I finially finished up my new living Vivarium this morning. It sstill looks a bit skecthy, but time will do it well. Here's some pictures of the finished product and the little pond, all gussyed up and planted. Plus one of my frogs.

It looks much better in real-life, I'm not kidding. The UVA light does it good.
The pond in it's finished splendour.
'nother shot of the pond, still looks a bit scuzzy, but it'll fix it's self out in time.

Hey look it's a frog!, Wait there's two of them, can you find the other little bugger?

Mighty New World Part 1.

My Poison dart frog cage, from start to finish. I started with quite a few supplies and plants, which all cost me so money, as does everything.

I used:
One ten gallon tank with a duct-taped top to keep the moisture in
Two bags of a strange green coloured pebbles
a small bag of white sand
Two pieces of Cork bark
one small driftwood branch
A piece of plexiglass cut to fit the cage
Jungle Mix substrate
Moss
multiple plants (Ferns, mosses, bromeliads and ivy)
Sewing pins


Here's the ten gallon, in all it's new clean glory.
Here's the filter system I set up so the water doesn't rot the plants.

The top, it's basically the pebbles with the plexiglass sheet over it.
Here's the little pond I made after I put the Jungle mix in.


The cage withe substrate and cork bark all read for plantage.


and then the rest of the photos are of after I put the plants up.

Mighty New World Part 2.

Hey everybody, I recently got a pair of green and black poison dart frogs in July and finally got around to making them a decent cage. It ate quite a bit of my paycheck, but it was worth it. Here's some pictures of the plant filled nearly finished tank.
