Invert Planted Terraria and Vivaria

[GRB]

I'm just wondering if I infringed copyrights or something. I can't remember if all the images were free access from wiki or not.

Good luck - if you get them right they look amazing and watching the plants grow alongside your animals is worth the effort

Thanks!

I was thinking about re-writing it since I've got more tips since I wrote this.

Please do, if you have more information I am sure people would be as glad as they where with this first copy.
Can I be greedy and ask for pic's where you can do.

Has anyone else had a go at planting something in their T's enclosure? Just though it would be fun to add some of our own pictures to the thread .

Here are some of my efforts. I have a feeling that I may have posted these in some other thread before but I just didn't notice that there was a sticky for it .

Anyhow, here's the original tank that I set up for my subadult Avicularia sp. avicularia. I really liked the idea of a bromeliad in there as they are almost certain to come across these often in the wild and the water in the centre of the plant would do as a natural water bowl.


Unfortunately the avic didn't stay there for long as I'd used 3mm acrylic sheets to build the tank with and after a couple of days (!) the sides started to warp with the humidity.... So the avic went into a planted up ExoTerra like this:


My longest running enclosure with plants was actually set up for my toads. I kept it going for over 5 years but eventually had to give up as my PhD was taking up too much time,.. so I don't keep toads anymore. However, I really loved their tank, and all the plants there did very well



Just recently I was down at the local botanical gardens and they were selling some really nice air plants,.. and I just couldn't resist adding them to my sub-adult Sericopelma rubronitens enclosure . Lovely little things, and I have a feeling that being this close to a window they might do well
