Default NEW Red Eyed Tree Frog Viv

Hi all, after suffering a few planting problems with my previously set up viv i decided to start again. this time i used coco pannels and got a fresh stock of plants from dart frog (highly recomended).

needs some growing in, and im still on the look out for the ideal piece of wood to finish it off. any ideas or suggestions are always welcome

Hope you like it

Heya knighty, It's a cute looking viv, but theres nothing through the middle for these guys to climb on, a few bamboo poles diagonally or a large sturdy leaved plant would be best

Looking good, that pink snakeskin plant seems to do well with a moist substrate, not sure how it will do up on the back walls. I have mine wet all the time and it's thriving.

If you read the post i said i am still looking for the ideal piece of wood. dont want to get any old piece and rush it. the plant in the far right is a peace lilly so there will be large leaves, and the 2 heart shaped climbers will eventualy hang over to. thanks though

Neither the philodendron or the peace lily are the kind of thing I'm talking about for this species to be honest, but good luck finding the right piece(s) of wood anyhoo They need perching

Have placed a couple of exo terra vines in there for know. The peace lilly was recomended to me as a good plant for this species and i have seen them sit on the leaves. The reason i chose the philodendron was it comes from pananma and has large sturdy leaves, more than vapable of taking there weight. I looked at mantra species and other large leaved species but they grow far too large for an exo terra 24x24x60.

what would you recomend? please dont say prayer plant
