This weekend I started and finished the construction of the vivarium for my pumilio Cayo Nancy. I still have to add several bromeliads because the ones I have now didn’t fit the viv.
Here’s the construction photo journal.
Apply silicone for better adeshion.
Measure / cut the driftwood to fit the viv
Cut the false bottom
Fill the back of the wood with foam in an effort to avoid rot and to keep frogs more visible
Glue wood to back of tank and fill remaining space with more foam. Instead of using coco (ran out) I got some old fern panels I had from the orchids and attached them to the foam.
Add the ground medium, basically 60% mulched oak leaves and peat moss
Add the plants
