okay. so the anole viv is set up like this:
we have an underwater pump/filer unit from the local pet store which circulates the water. the bottom has gravel in the bottom and larger rocks as well so the critters which get into the water, can get out again. we also provide mangrove trees and a couple of live bamboo in the water to give the anoles a "run in and get a drink or eat a fish" and get back out again LOL
we have a huge fern in there which has a rock base (from the petstore), a piece of mopani and some of the vines you can buy from the petstore as well. we twisted the small vines and the medium vines together to get a more natural look to them and then just wedged them against the two glass sides to hold them in place.
then we added some more silk plants from the petstore (see a petstore theme here?) and a good light with some heat coming off of it in case they want to do some basking... also to provide light for the mangrove tree and live bamboo.
in the enclosure to the left...
we have moss on the bottom with soil underneath. we pour water on it and keep it nice and moist.
we have some arbutus branches in there for the frogs and a nice deep water dish. some mopani at the back and more silk plants from the petstore. a red light for day and night heat basking and another normal light for 'daytime'.
even though they are near the front window they don't always get a lot of light since their backs have that foam background which comes with the exo-terras... so we choose to provide lighting for them. in the frog viv we have white's tree frogs and green tree frogs. we had them sep at first... but decided to put them together. they've been together for awhile now... and no problems.
in our smaller exoterra containers we house a tarantula in one and in the other is our cresties.
