Default 18x18x24 Exoterra.............what would you put in it?

i was going to just move my imi's to it but after looking over their tank(an 18 cube) there is no easy way to tear it down and make use of the bromeliad/vine/orchid covered grapewood i made for it so they are going to stay put, besides i really want to see what it looks like when it grows out.

most of the frogs i was planning on getting this following spring are more terrestrial(P. bicolor, P. vittatus and galac's) so i dont think they will work well, besides 1/2 the floor area will prolly be pond. so what will make use of the verticle space, not need much floor space and preferably have a very soft call(it will be in the bedroom)

Sheridan -

Vents would work well - their call is soft. Variabilis would be another choice with a softer call - although mine like to mess around in the leaf litter - so having a little ground area would be good. Fantasticus would be another choice - but a little lower on the list, as they also tend to spend a good amount of time on the ground - but their call is very soft. Lamasi would also work - although their call may be a little louder than what you are looking for.

Given the right landscaping - I could see Leucs using most of that space. But - it will be tough to achieve that type of a "hardscape" with an 18" square footprint.

But you can kiss that soft call goodbye :wink:
