The June terrarium picture thread!

I'd love if everyone could start posting pictures of their terrariums in this thread.

Here's a few shots of one of my warmer terrariums:

I'm going to post pictures of my other terrariums soon.

It's a 10 gallon and the Nep in there is a very recent addition (I rescued it from Home Depot about 4 days ago). From the looks of its leaves I'd say it's a N. sanguinea, but it hasn't pitchered yet so we'll have to see.

Well, I have vivarium with frogs in it, and I do have some CPs. So mine is set up with soil in it. Here is a shot that shows my utrics.

This next picture shows my ping titan that has since then outgrown the tank, beleive it or not, and had to be removed. It was doing so well in there! It is still doing extremely well under a grow light. But here it was as a baby.

This picture also shows some CPs in the tank that have since been removed. they were doing well, but other plants started growing taller and blocking out the light that they needed.

This is a current pic and it shows a different tank that holds two little pings, you can see them on the right hand corner of the picture. They have been in this tank for about 8-9 months now and are doing well.

And here you can see those same pings, or one of them at least, from a different angle in the left corner of the picture.

I know that wasn't exactly what you were looking for when you asked for terrarium pics, but it was all I had to show. I hope you don't mind!

Nice pics, Mitch.

From the look of it, seems like you'll be drowning in capensis seed pretty soon!

 

[LLeopardGGecko]

Thanks Chloroplast. And yeah, the seed is coming

Hey back2 are those poison dart frogs? What happens if you touch one of them. Do you fall over?

Thanks Stephen

 

[dewyleaves]

back2: WOW!!!! Those are the coolest frogs ever. I always wanted a tomato frog, I think that's what it is. They just look so funny with their fat features and little faces. I have always wanted poison darts too. As soon as I am old enough I'll get them. How is it keeping CP's with frogs? Do the plants catch their share of the insects as well?

to answer that...No. in the wild the food they eat makes them toxic. in captivity they are not harmful at all.

sorry, I am just now getting back to this thread. Been busy. To answer the questions, those are tomato frogs. I have never touched them because they secrete a glue-like substance when you do and it is supposedly very hard to wash off. that is their defense mechanism.

I do have poison dart frogs and there is no problems with keeping them with CPs. The harm, if any, will come to the plants from not getting enough light. A nepenthes is a good choice, but it is hard to get the rest of them the amount of sunlight that they need if you have a very over grown tank like dart frogs like. One alternative is to mount pots for the plants higher up on the back of the tank so that they are right under the light. That works well.

Here is a pic of one of my poison dart frogs and you can see a ping in the pic as well. I don't think I posted this one yet, if I did, my apologies.

Nice healthy looking plants zac. They look really good.
