Frog tank upgrade, realistic step by steps depicted. See additional steps in the comments ⬇️⬇️  
1\. Staging the background  
2\. Foam sprayed \& cured - carving begins  
3\. After carving, siliconing cocoa fiber to it

4\. Add additional layers/perches, finish dirt adhesion  
5\. Spray down the tank

Cool! Keep us updated when you add the plants!

#### spearf replied on 2026-10-12

Should have an update by end of the week 🫡 I was too excited to wait so I had to post how it was made to keep myself grounded lol

#### spearf replied on 2026-10-16

Nice! That's going to look even better as it grows in

### Reptile0 commented on 2026-10-12

Will this be bioactive? And what kind of frogs? Looks awesome.

#### spearf replied on 2026-10-12

Yes it is bio active with isopods \& springtails. This is an upgraded enclosure for my 2 yellow banded dart frogs but I will be adding mourning geckos after they settle in

### Reptile0 commented on 2026-10-13

Huh, I've never heard of two species in the same tank like that.

#### spearf replied on 2026-10-13

It’s basically never a good idea to keep two species in the same tank; however, with the specific type of dart frog I have (leuc) they can be kept with specifically mourning geckos. Otherwise, different species in the same tank usually always ends poorly

### Reptile0 commented on 2026-10-13

Interesting.
