Looks great Brian!!! What are all the plants in there??? Do you plan on digging any eggs up or just letting them incubate in the soil?

 

[kychemnerd]

Wow. Love it! What kind of lights are you growing the plants under? And I would also like to know what kind of plants are there. It looks awesome!

Brian that is a fantastic tank. I never did see any pgymy's. Are you sure they are still in the tank? There are a lot of Brev's out there right now, maybe 2 or 3 more for Christmas? You know she would love it. That heavily planted, I am sure you could add a couple.

The big one in the back right is a Fukein Tea bonsai, center back is ficus benjamina, back left is a texas ebony. I have a couple arcadia, another texas ebony, and some other small bushy ones that I dont know the names of. The front center is a Jaboticaba.

Laurie, you can see one in the middle toward the front/bottom and the other 2 are back left and right up near the top. I could probably use a another male because I think we ended up with 3 females. I might hit up ataraxia and see if he still has some CB. The 4th was a temporalis and she is in my other tank by herself and doing really well in the cooler temps.

@Al, I plan to let them hatch in there if I am luck enough to get some fertile eggs going. I would not have the patience to dig all that up in search of pea sized eggs, lol

@Kychemnerd, nice to see another texan on here. The lights are 2- 12x12 LED blue/white grow lights with an 18" 5.0 UVB reptisun in the back. Its a little blue in there but the plants seem to be doing really well under those lights.

Thanks all!

really cool set up man, looks like a scene plucked out of the wild

 

[reptoman]

Thanks man. That is just what I was going for.

Did you make the enclosure your self?

 

[reptoman]

Yes. I built the glass tank originally for a beardy but moved her to a larger tank shortly after making that one around 10 years ago. I have the original tank pics and progress pics on the Facebook link in my signature.
Btw, I grew up in southgate mi. I saw the 734 in your name and figured you were somewhere near Detroit.

Yeah, i am over in westland.

That is one outstanding tank! Awesome job!

 

[ferretinmyshoes]

That looks really great! It has filled in beautifully and is a great representation of what I'd think the forest floor looks like. I bet they feel right at home!

Great video! I love the setup!

 

[gooslapa]

awesome video, the music goes perfect with the scenery... if you took a picture so that none of the cage showed in the frame it would look like a place in the forest! so peaceful, i wanna hang a hammock and take a nap in there myself!

Thanks guys! I lost track of this thread so late with the response.

How funny, that was my first thought too! I live near Detroit.

Great set-up! Nicely done!!

Just saw this thread Brian. Tank looks great man!

 

[reptoman]

Thanks guys! The pygs are still kicking and seem to be thriving in there. Need to get a male Brev to go with my 3 girls.
