Default waretrop's vivarium



This is my Mantella frog tank. I had it running as a terrarium for about 12 years. This is where I grew my sundews and flytraps. When I retired I decided to keep darts I disassembled the thing and rebuilt it so this growth is only about at a month old. It has filled in so much that I had to harvest it 2 times so far.

It started as a "L" shaped fish tank. Then my favorite hubby and I added the glass roof and screen in the ends. I just love it. I can sit in front of it for hours. Barb

It's probably a 30 year old fish tank that I converted. Makes it much more interesting to watch. It has to trap doors in the roof for easy maintence. Barb Yahoo IM waretrop

Looks like alot of room for plenty of stuff. You must have tons of fun looking for anything wierd that might grow in there without your permission.

So Barb, which one is your 'favorite hubby'......do you have more than one! There might be a law in NJ regarding that!
