Fire Bellied Toad Paludarium, Terrarium, Vivarium

For my first post I would like to show my Frog Tank. I created this Paludarium for my little girl who is absolutely obsessed with reptiles and frogs. She is the main reason why my hobby turned into an obsession. Thank you Marissa! I started with a Zoo Med 18x18x18 with a 18" Zoo Med Natural Terrarium Hood. I'm using a Zoo Med Repti-Sun 5.0 Fluorescent Light for the day and a 50 Watt Zilla Black Night Bulb for the night. In addition to the custom background I created a pond in the middle with a false bottom filtration waterfall. For my filtration system I'm using a Zoo Med 501 Canister Filter. I think the result was better than I ever imagined and it's so easy to clean. I made this whole set up with ease in mind and the end result was great. This is literally a plug and play background with the false bottom and filtration system attached. Many of the custom tanks I saw were completely attached to the tank so instead of having a background that is attached to the tank I opted to have a removable one. I can remove it, clean it, and put it back together like a puzzle. I'm awesome!
