For context, I have whites tree frogs and I currently have an enclosure where the base is cracked and too heavy to move around. I was wondering if I could build one from plexiglass, and if anyone had experience with such- or if anyone has any recommendations that are more cost effective than purchasing a huge glass enclosure

Gonna make my first paludarium and don’t really want to buy 100 dollars worth of rock from my lfs (my last 10 gallon planted tank took about 100 bucks worth of rock). What do you guys do? Find rock from outside and crush it accordingly? Wondering this

I am building a temporary vivarium (1 to 2 years) for my Colombian Rainbow Boa (Epicrates Maurus) before he starts to grow out more and I only need a few more things. The tank dimensions are roughly 4’x2’x2’ and I need lighting suggestions and plant ideas. The tank stays roughly 75-80% humidity and hot side is 80F with cold being low 70’s upper 60’s. I have a single heat lamp on hot side and a 18” UVB light bar on a 12hr on 12hr off timer in the center. I need help figuring out what plants to get that won’t hurt the snake, pill bugs, or springtails and help the tank out while fitting the tropical forest vibes. Thank you to anyone that can help me out it’s greatly appreciated

I want to make a paludarium with a background made in expansive foame with silicone and black lava rock powder on but i don't know if it's safe for water.

Have a bag of Exo Terra Sub Straum. I'm wondering will that be ok to use in the water section? E.g. a layer under the sand to provide some nutrients for aquatic plants?

I’m rlly new to this kind of thing but I’m making a tank for some frogs w a little water area. Will mold for if water gets behind the spray foam? Not a bunch of water

Me and my hubby are building a 55gal dart frog tank. When we first started the build and added water I stressed that we needed to have distilled or RO water. We were both eager and he convinced me at the time it would be fine, the water feature would filter the water. We have about 2in aquarium filter pad as the false bottom, in which the filter lies. Then over that we have a window screen and our substrate; sphagnum moss, activated charcoal, orchid bark coconut fiber. We have also added some moss in patches. The water feature we have is a stream of water from a tube in the top, the water then runs down through a log (frog safe, baked) and into a pool that over flows onto a geode then a rainbow obsidian slab down to another geode that over flows to the substrate and on through.

I'm worried we might have to some how get all the water out of the pool, false bottom and substrate. I'd really like to think that everything in the tank is doing some sort of natural reverse osmosis process and not have to re do everything. That all being said we are going to be bring thumb nail dart frogs into this take and want to be safe. Any advice is welcome.

Hello im actually on a project for a paludarium. I have a 603030 aquarium tank. I wanted to make a custom led ramp in a custom lid. But i don't know what led to choose for vampire crabe and my plants , mostly plant with short leaf and epiphytes like bucephalandra . Sorry for my english im french. Thanks you for all your future answers .

Right now, I have a small 36l paludarium with three vampire crabs. While I am now currently building a 120l tank for them. The measurements are 100cm long, 40cm by 40cm.

Could I maybe look at mourning geckos? I'm hoping to have enough water space to have shrimp and maybe small fish to

During the day the humidity is between 60 and 70% but in the night when the lights go out and the temperature drops it goes to 99%. the temperature at day time is 25-28 C and at night 21-23 C. Should I look at more heating or for more ventilation?
