Hi It looks great!
How many frogs do you have?
Do you have a mesh section in your lid?
Can you tell me where you got the moss type stuff from? I am currently building a new enclosure for my GTF's and white-lips, its aprox 150x120x70 cm's, hoping to have it done by Sunday.

its just some moss i collected from the ground in my area. there is only 1 frog in there and an axolotyl that i want to try and morph. there is no heating in the tank cause it gets about three hours of direct sunlight which heats it up each day and no mesh area on top, so the heat and humidity is trapped in there. also ferns and moss dont like direct heat from lamps and will die in a few weeks of insufficient water. if you can get a water area in your tank and put a water heater in to keep it at about 28 degrees as well as one of those mist makers you should be able to keep enough humidity for ferns and moss to grow.

How do you provide ventilation and u.v if you have no mesh top?
How do the frog and axolotl get along?

frog stays out of the water and axolotyl stays off land. so i guess they don't get along. neither of them need UV to my knowledge and the only ventilation is from the gaps around the sides and corners of the glass top. i had a morphed axolotyl that i bought from the store pails has now but way before he got it and it lived for about 3-4 years after i bought it so i dont think it is that cruel.
