Post your aquatic/semi-aquatic setup

[rudukai13]

As the title suggests, I'm interested in seeing everyone's aquatic/semi-aquatic setups for their herps. No species in particular, just looking for any and all examples. Also, I'd be interested to hear some info on the animals as well - If you could list scientific name, common name, and answer the questions below it would be very much appreciated;

1. Approximately how much time does the animal spend on land/in water?

2. Does it spend more time in the water depending on what time of day it is?

3. Does it truly seem to "enjoy" being in the water, or does it just go in for a soak every once in a while?

This is a 48" x 18" @ 13" tall 50 gal "Vivarium" (Terrarium to most of us)...

Water pumps up from anotehr tank, down the waterfall in the back right corner, around the tank through the stream, then dissappears into the log via a 'hidden pipe' which feeds an overflow (drilled tank)...

I'm in the final stages of completing the styrofoam rockwork for the bottom tank which is a standard 75 gal...

They will be used to house Poison Dart Frogs and Pygmy Chameleons. Since I don't have either one yet, I cannot respond in detail to your inquiries. But from what I read PDFs nor P. Chams spend much time in the water, but both are benefited by the humidity the water feature provides.

Very cool, thanks! That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Alright, who's next?

Your setup is completly unsuitable to house pygmy chamelons and it needs some changes if it is to keep dart frogs successfully, and you cant combine thouse 2 animals it there. Please shuse one of thouse animals. For your satisfaction I sugest you empty the pond and fill the space with peat moss and more plants to keep dart frogs, pygmy chameleons are very TRICKY to keep and for some we dont know exacly yet their needs, and they need it completly rigth in order to live. Also their lifes tend to be very short.
