I'm thinking a 30" cube or possibly even 36", built to go in a corner with rock walls along two sides, doors on the other, so they can stack (with a space in between for when extra heating is needed in the winter, welcome to Canada!). There would be lots of things to climb on at different levels, a handful of hides on the bottom. The hides I would be hand making so that as the BPs get bigger, I can get them bigger hides as well. Any thoughts? What are your adults in/how did you get them to that size? Thanks in advance
40g breeder. Made the big ol lid. Has led's in it to reach the darker areas. Dual 12in t5ho hydroponics fixture. One grow bulb one uvb. Heated by side of tank mounted heat panel. No heat lamps or emitters. I have a diy fogger that runs this and 3 other large frog tanks. My baby is fairly large. Never actually measured him.
Proper bio soil is the key. You can google a good recipie like i did and have enough to plant everything in the house, or get from somewhere like joshsfrogs. With good planting the hardest part is finding sturdy plants. Pick out poop and sheds then go. Peel up the moss and stir the dirt from time to time. Love it. No mo bedding changes.
Boom. Nature straight down to simulating sunlight the best manmade lights can.
