I'm really interested in picking up the biggest exo-terra terrarium and filling the bottom with water for guppies. Looking at what's available and what people have done I was thinking about piling gravel and stones up against the back, and laying a moss mat over them. Then for the height I was looking at adding a fake tree stump, some vines, and a branch. Then growing a live plant or two in there. I'm also liking the exo-terra medium sized waterall with the built in fogger.

That all being said, what kind of reptiles and/or amphibians can I stock it with that will take to the water and to the trees? Would redbellied toads climb? And of not, can I add two long tailed lizard to a colony of three or four toads?



Oh yeah and while I'm at it the tetra repto filter looks like my best option for the water. Any thoughts on that?
 
Look into vietnamese mossy frogs.
You should plan on a small filter system, I have built several similar setups. For 2-3 gal of water you can use a cheap submersible filter ($8), the outlet can easily be ported via aquarium tubing to make a waterfall.
Pothos grows very well hydroponically in this type of setup, I also use "lucky bamboo", and a few other philodendrons.
Good luck!
 
wow that would look sweet when u get it all done u gotta post pics bc now i might wanna do it
 
I hve seen nice set ups with small geckoes and tree frogs with killies and guppies
 
That mossy is a very cool frog, never seen one for sale.
 
to bad it wouldnt fit an archer fish....then you could kill two birds with one stone by just putting some crickets in!
 
I could just see the archer shooting down anoles and house geckoes
