I feel like they could use more vertical hiding, overall it’s less extravagant than most of the tanks I see on here. My first build for my lil froggos, live plants, isopods and springtails. For now I’m planning on adding more suction cup things on the walls for hiding/vibing, and when they get bigger I wanna build a bigger vivarium with a lil waterfall and a nice background out of cork or whatever. But anyhow I’m just wondering what y’all gotta say and if there’s any advice or suggestions I’m all ears.

What type of frogs? What are the dimensions?
I agree, fill out the upper half of the enclosure with horizontal and diagonal climbing/perching options. Other than that it looks great
They’re lacking the most important part, which is a canopy of both branches and foliage spanning all the way to the top of the tank. All that empty space you see above the 50% mark is useless from their standpoint. It’s super common to miss and easy to fix. Shove in more branches, and then when you think you’re done, add more. Adding a mature pothos, like one on a pole, will cover a lot of space for little money and also make great little perches for the frogs.
What height is this tank? I usually recommend 36″ for this species, which is good to aim at when you upgrade 🙂
Here’s also how I build the canopy, often using hemp twine: [https://imgur.com/gallery/reference-arboreal-enclosure-builds-yXbroYJ](https://imgur.com/gallery/reference-arboreal-enclosure-builds-yXbroYJ)
this setup isn’t really suitable for them as it is. they’d benefit from much more foliage, additional clutter and perches, and a deeper layer of leaf litter. a water feature also isn’t necessary for them, as humidity needs to be kept right around 40%.
It makes me sad that people don’t care about everything being plastic in a reptile tank the same way they do with fish tanks
Fkn dope
You need to add enough plants to supply a snoop dog concert on 4/20.
Lots of decorations, not enough plants.
