I have only just discovered your channel. I am new to Dart Frogs, as an experienced Lizard keeper i have always loved frogs, and kept some in the past such as Whites Tree Frogs, Grey Tree Frogs and couple of others. I was never brave enough to venture into Darts. But having seen some folks bioactive setups i thought why the heck not that's go for it! I have thus recently purchased the Exo Terra Tree Frog Terrarium 45x45x60 and set it up for some Dendrobates leucomelas. I don't collect these until the 11th December so have been so excited and watching various videos on how others are keeping them. I got to say I have come across your videos and found them amazing. The first was your trip to see all the various frogs in the wild and subscribed straight away. Your such a cool guy and found your videos so interesting. This video has made me wish however that I saw it before i set mine up as i love how you have used the foam and glue to make the background levels how you have. I'm hoping to get the Zoo Med Paludarium next and try doing a set up for Red Eyes with some shrimp or fish. You have given me some amazing ideas to try out for future terrariums so THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Currently working out the hardscaping of a Leap Habitat and I wound up with 2 abnormally large cork bark rounds. I have not been satisfied with any approach I took with them...And then I saw Clint use a large one as sort of a 'canoe' with substrate and plants in it. I believe this is the approach I'll take with mine. Thanks for the inspiration, Clint! I'm not doing the GG on the foam approach though. I'll be putting silicone on the foam and then dumping "side-strate" on that.

I used plain 100% black silicone to attach the hardscape background in my terrarium- it’s held up to an adult Florida kingsnake. I use expanding foam more for 3D shaping so I don’t have to cut it out later. I used the silicone to attach substrate to the background too, smoosh your substrate mix into the silicone before it dries. Mine still looks great after 5-6 years of use. I would say the only downside is it took about a week or so to cure and off-gas.

Tip: you can shape the expanding foam while it's semi cured, as you can push it with your fingers because the surface cures first. Saves a lot of time. My latest vivarium is foamless, as I used one piece of driftwood that has heaps of branches and made my own putty made out of aquasoil mixed with Coco fibre into a sturdy clay mix and made a grow wall completely up the back around the wood branches. The live sheet moss has already attached to it and is growing on in really well in less than two weeks.
