ok well i recently came into hand with ANOTHER 20 gallon long terrarium, and wanted to make somthing that was low maintenance like a vivarium with a waterfeature and lots of junglish plants, if anyhting, mayby somesort of insect that doesnt fly obviosly, just somthing low maintance once all sayd and done

so if you guys have a vivarium if i could see some pictures to at least get me going that would be great, or any sugestions would be nice

here is sonthing i was thing about:(somthing alsong this line)

Dart frogs would be perfect for that!!! Fun little frogs with lots of different color varieties. House geckos would work pretty well too.
 
yeah. You can set up a water feature with small amounts of pond liner and a slope (with a pump) to create a stream, or you can just have the bottom few inches submerged, with a filter/pump that makes a waterfall. For plants i cant help you, but i'm sure a little research of your own would be fruitful. A couple dart frogs WOULD be great for that setup. Some sort of tree frog (take your pick) would be good too. You can look at them here http://www.reptiledepot.com/frogs.html.

A good dart frog info site is http://www.saurian.net/
 
that second link is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet :drool:
 
Oh god, dont we all? Its probably easy if youve got a couple hundred bucks to blow on a viv.

Anyway, yeah darts are actually far from low maintenance... You'd be better off with one of the common tree frogs like a white line, white's, or green. As long as they get fed they are pretty easy to keep.
