I’ve been in the aquarium hobby for decades but have always wanted dart frogs. Recently I purchased an 18x18x 24” Exo terra and have plans to scape it. My main issue is that my house is over 120 years old and stays around 63-65 deg Fahrenheit in the winter. I purchased a heat mat and...

Hey, So my terrarium is built just waiting for plants to establish and grow. I’m currently on the heating part of my build but I can’t get a decent temperature. I have an Exo Terra Frogs & Co 45x45 with a custom expanding foam and gorilla glue background that will eventually house 2 tinctorius...

Hello all! I've never created a bioactive enclosure before, but I'm becoming increasingly interested in doing so. I've owned frogs before, but never in the context of growing plants in real soils, using cleanup crews, etc. As such, I have little to no frame of reference! All I know is that my...

I cant find my two gray tree frog froglets in their 12x12x18 bioactive. They're less than half an inch long, and I put them in there a few days ago but they've both disappeared. Any advice on locating them without stressing them out? Thanks in advance!

I have an 18x18x20 tropical setup. I plan to house 3 Baja California Tree frogs in it which grow up to about 2 inches. My tree frogs are juveniles and are currently being housed in a separate enclosure. I recently seeded my viv with springtails and I’ve been looking into which isopods would be...

Hey all! So this is my first time submitting an idea like this. I've never owned a bioactive vivarium before, and so I'm purely looking for insight that appeals to my strange brain. If this is unprofessional or just plain stupid, be patient with me! I'm just curious as to whether or not a...

Hello, from Ocala, Florida. I just set up my very first bioactive vivarium. It was so fun to build and I’m so excited to be getting my very first dart frogs (or any frogs/amphibians to be honest). I also have a ball python and a tarantula so I can’t wait for the dendrobates to join the family...

Hello all, I have a substrate consisting of topsoil, reptisoil and sand (recommended by reptifiles as a diy tropical mix). I noticed that it compacts down a quite a bit especially when wet. Will this be a problem for springtails or should I add some Coco fiber or something else to keep it from...

Hi! I am new to frogs but have been researching for a while here. I am planning to build a bioactive tank with springtails and isopods. I’ve watched some diy videos on using foam and silicone to secure cork board and some net cups. It’s an18x18x18 exo terra. I have some cholla and grape wood...

Greetings, I post here not as a frog owner (albeit I do own a high red Ceratophrys oranata) but as a centipede owner. I have recently obtained one of my dream pedes, a younger 8” Scolopendra gigantea sp “white leg”. I am familiar with the premise that the Habisphere is less than ideal for most...

Currently finishing up my hardscape but I have my CUC coming in this week. I already have my substrate waiting to go in as well. I figure it would be a week+ until everything is cured and fumes are gone. Im planning on putting my CUC in a larger container with the substrate so they can start...

I made a bioactive viv about 6 months ago and put rehydrated forest moss as a layer on top. The moss started as a faded greenish yellow color and is now brown. I use treated tap whatever whenever watering the enclosure and it is very humid in there. Will this harm my frogs? Should i replace the...

Hello everyone, I have a created gecko vivarium and noticed a few mushrooms pop up in the past. I know that this is normal but the whole drainage has been taken over. What should I do? All of the drainage was originally brown btw

i recently got an azureus about a week ago kind of suddenly, and unfortunately did not realise how mch time i would need to prepare for him. also i am absolutely brand new at keeping poison dart frogs. i love him very much and want to do the absolute best for him, so ive been reading these...

Good Morning Everyone, I was fairly active on the forum a little over a year ago when researching how to build a vivarium for my two P. terribilis. Everyone was very helpful and the project turned out well. I wanted to share how the enclosure looks after 18 months of plant growth! Thanks...
