I am so happy to be showing off my FIRST complete enclosure build, which is fire bellied toad yellow bellied toad paludarium! It features a DIY background, bioactive substrate, live plants, and tons of naturalistic elements like stone, sand, rock, malaysian driftwood, and beyond. Keep your eyes peeled for an enclosure tour as well :)
