There are a few mods for the exos to fruit fly proof them.. but then they look perty ugly. I would probably make some 10 or 20G verticals if i were to get some pdfs.

I was into bonsai, tropical plants, and terrariums before i was into to reefing so i gotta through a bit of money into hobbies i still love but have pushed off to the side.

I have 4 differnt orchids in the terrarium on the right, haha im really not good with the namesof orchids. I know the one big on is masdevellia for lighting im useing a 24" T5 sunlight supple new wave fixture and a exoterra hood and hand misting. I would like to get a misting kit one day.

I would love to get my hands on a Vriesea racinae. I once piggybacked on a group order on canadart and one of them was supposed to be that one (which didn't come) and one of them was supposed to be Neo. fireball (which I'm sure what came, isn't). So if you have either of those we might have to talk :)

I was into orchids before tanks, and getting into SW was the worst thing that ever happened to me in terms of that hobby. One day I really need to scale back on the tanks so I can return to some form of respectability with my plants...

What background are you using in the terrariums? Did you stay with the stock styrofoam or did you make your own? I'd love to try one with a drip wall of some kind.

not sure of the names of the broms i have but i can get pics if you want. i just got into orchids... pretty much just ones that wil grow in my terrarium i have a wired fascination with epyphitic plants. The terrarium on the left is expanding foam sillicone and coco fiber and the one on the right is epi web with a drip wall

let me know if you find that snake, i'd love to see pics! i haven't seen any here in bc.

Orchids! I have a couple of those exo-terra tanks just kicking around, the Ball pythons quickly outgrew them, wasting space in storage....you've given me ideas!!

edit: how are the plants anchored to the back wall?
