Hey! After carefully reading 40+ hours of Dendrobates and terrarium related content I started my new build. My previous setup housed two red eyed tree frogs. After donating them to a new caregiver, I could break down their home :’) My Forture is creating display tanks and modernizing the...

Hello I am setting up a few terrariums for dart frogs and I would like your opinions of plants and other fixtures (sticks/logs/rocks/shelves/backgrounds etc). I am new at building tank setups - this one you see first below will house Ranitomeya Fantastica "True Nominals". The skeleton of the...

Phase 1 of my Cloud Forest-inspired vivarium is complete! I have a few prior posts on this build, but lots of changes have occurred since those posts and I’m really happy with the current status of the project. The biggest structural change was sending the vivarium off for surgery, to make it...

In a recent post someone mentioned that my lights look very bright and I was wondering which lights other people use. For plant growth I've read that a light temperature >6000 K is optimal. At the moment I use a 45 cm Exo Terra Compact top with 2 8 watt forest canopy LEDs with 6500 K. I also...

Update on my build, waiting for plants to arrive this week, using a finnex 24/7 planted plus led (not pictured here)

I’ve came across conflicting information, I would like to add some large isopods, such as zebras, dairy cows, or powdered oranges into my viv that currently houses thumbnail frogs I’ve read that the isopods can hurt them, versus they’ll be fine

I recently broke down my aquarium to make room for a new terrarium. There are hardscape components like wood and rocks that I would like to use in my terrarium. Has anyone tried repurposing aquarium hardscape for a terrarium? And if so, what would be the best way to clean/disinfect them? Also...

Hi all! I’m starting a thread to document the construction of my 10g vert vivarium. I love the idea of making a small and ecosystem in my room. The design isn’t perfect, and nor is my construction, but I had fun making it. I’m hoping the viv will fit a pair of Ranitomeya, either imitator...

Since I finally got to work on my 24 x 18 x 18 ExoTerra I picked up off Craigslist, I decided it would be appropriate to start a build log, mainly for my own documentation. I plan to update this periodically as I get components finished, so fair warning it might be a couple months before...

Hey everyone, I have been working on an enclosure which is a tv cabinet turned into a display vivarium. It is a corner cabinet (not a perfect triangle but similar to it) and is between 135-150 gallons. I would love to keep 5 mint terribilis when the time comes, do you all think that will be a...

I apologize ahead of time for the presence of links instead of images. I've tried numerous times in different threads to get the images to work. After reviewing the rules of the site, I think I have not posted enough times to be allowed to insert direct images. I hope you still enjoy the thread...

I posted a couple of weeks ago as a new member. I thought I'd use my second post in the new members forum to give a small update on whats going on with my tank and ask a few questions about the build and future inhabitants. I'll try to post the pictures using the function within the message...

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...

Hi, all! I have been lurking here on dendroboard for years and made an account a few months ago as I prepared to get back into the hobby. A few years back I started out with a group of 5 R. variabilis in an 18x18x24 exo terra. Being my first build, I was never happy with the tank. Pair...

Hello, I am new to frog keeping and don't currently own any frogs. I have been keeping fish for several years, and have done research and so know the basics of keeping frogs. I was going to start setting up a tank rather soon and I have some questions. First, would you consider Dendrobates...
