More wood added for vertical climbing space, quite happy with how it's going, the plants are well bedded in, which has really helped maintain the humidity.

Plant health looks great. How’s the temp holding up with the heat mat?

I’ve ordered a 45 x 45 x 60, I’ll be housing a Crested Gecko.

Yeah great, drops to high 60's at night, and holds at about 73f during the day.

Ah cool, I really wish I'd went for those dimensions in hindsight!

When does it arrive, gonna start a journal?

Can always upgrade. That extra height does make a great difference. But overly necessary for the frogs I suppose.

Arrives Wednesday. There will definitely be a journal. Just planning the hardscape, I’m not sure whether I’ll scape three sides, two or just the one.

The difficulty is, it's taken since November for this tank to bed in properly, would be too much hassle to switch over unless it was for a much bigger size. Plus the frogs would get disrupted, when they've also settled into this set-up.

Exo-Terra?

Yes mate Exo-Terra.

The plants settle in better when you give them time before adding livestock.
I’ll be giving this a good month or two before adding any livestock.

Yours looks like it’s starting to fill in now though and looking healthy.
 
Haven't updated this in a while! Next milestone is frog calling, which I estimate may happen around April earliest.

No plans to breed since the frogs are from the same parents, but may consider options from different bloodlines, we will see.

These are brilliant. I really like frogs but I have been told (somewhat firmly) that I already have too much to care for. Two tanks, two dogs, a pond, garden and a child… she may be right.

I have little pond frogs starting to return though now so I’ll make do. For now…

Keep at it, definitely worth trying dart frogs if you can eventually!
