Just keep the moist very wet for the first few weeks, untill u get growth.
On the right are a few broms, but i forgot the other stem plant names.
The back ground is 2 piece of epiweb.

I finally can share the felling of having some of these frogs, i got some blue and bronze aura's thsi weekend.

for anyone thinking of doing some PDF's, this stuff's every bit as addicting as aquariums.

I've been staring at the exoteras for a few years now.... sNapple I think you just infested my house with frogs. What did you do, just run a bulkhead through the bottom somewhere, anything elaborate? It looks great.

Actually, I've been thinking about setting one up for praying mantises, you can order some killer ones online now. I don't think they live very long though.

lol, I could move the frogs in for the take over. Some of the mantids get big though, I could probably feed it frogs

I'm not sure if a planted Exo is right for that anyway, I would imagine they don't appreciate heavy humidity. sNapple's looks awesome though, so I might accidentally grab one next time I'm at petland.

I am far from an expert on these things, but I really enjoy the new look. Leef litter would make it look messy in my opinion. It looks like the frogs have plenty of hiding places in the plants.
