How do you keep your Escudo?

[Pumilo]

Title pretty much sums it up. I was asked how I keep my Escudo. I thought it made more sense to show everyone than just the guy who PM'd me.
My Escudo Viv is approximately 50 gallons. It is a custom slope front measuring 24" x 24" x 24" tall. False bottom with Turface and my calcium enriched clay substrate on top. Clay Substrate How-To I have cork bark and clay walls with a large Ghost wood tree trunk and roots. Using a point and shoot digital temp gun, the temps range from 68 at the bottom in the shade to as high as 84 up high on the walls. Average is around 70 to 74. I temp checked there favorite spot and it came up at 72 F. I keep the viv very well grown in. Here is the overview.

I try to keep a couple inches of leaf litter down on top of the clay substrate. I do keep a clearing on the clay so the frogs can get some direct contact with it. Here is the clearing, under the tree.

There is much less vegetation in the front. Part of that is because with my slope fronts, I don't get as much light up front. Additionally, the stump blocks light. We have seen our froglet hunting through that area many times. These pics show the front clearing pretty nicely. We do have a couple nice ferns up front.

Here are some pics showing where mom and dad usually hang out. They seem to keep mostly to the right side of the viv but they do make the rounds now and then.

And here's mom wondering what this invasion of privacy is all about.

Junior seemed to keep more to the left side of the viv over here.

Moving aside some plants, you can see the overgrown patch of strawberry begonia that was his little clubhouse.

This is just an odd grass that sprouted up out of our clay wall.

Misted 3 to 4 times a day for about 30 seconds each cycle except the last cycle, a couple of hours before lights out, for one minute. Rain is by Mist King and we use a double on this.

They get fed 2 to 3 times a week with turkish gliders dusted at every feeding with Repashy Calcium Plus. Additionally, the calcium enriched clay substrate is full of dwarf white isopods, dwarf gray isopods, assorted springtails, and we've started trying to get dwarf purple isopods established.
