Redid an old tank
 
4 Attachment(s)
This old Exo has served me well over the past few years. It started to leak a while back and went from a showpiece to a storage unit.

Resealed it with silicone and I'm attempting to bring it back to it's days of glory.

Looking good.

Looks good. I've considered using my lizard's exoterra to grow some orchids, but thus far, I've only put in some basic houseplants and a Tillandsia (bromeliad).

Thanks guys :)

I'm contemplating what critters to add in the water section. It's significant enough where I can have a school of some sort of fish with some shrimp and snails to compliment them. This won't be for a few months though to let the tank mature a bit.

Won't the snails eat your plants?

There are a few options for aquatic snails that wont harm my plants. I don't mind snails nearly as much as I do slugs.

Looks really good, great work!

Although pricy to the tune of 30$ each, I would think that orchid mantis' in a terrarium would be great!
sadly they don't live long either. I still think with this sort of set up a chamillion would be awesome.

Really nice!
When I had a pond, we had good snails (no idea what they were, any more) and they ate the algae but left the plants alone. They were really a nice addition.

Chameleons require excellent air circulation which might be difficult. Also, Exoterras are not typically "sealed" tight enough to prevent the smaller prey items a smaller cham would eat from escaping.

Lovely terr! Btw, concerning the chids held to their mounts with what looks like green twist ties -- if you wish to have a less noticeable binding, you can use clear fishing line or even brown thread.
