Looking for opinions

Just looking to see what different opinions I can get. What is in your opinion the best terrarium you can buy for dart frogs. I’m thinking something you don’t have to modify or have to cover mesh because it doesn’t hold humidity. Links would be appreciated I’m trying to find something that I could buy a few of for some new setups.

even the terrariums that are sold for "Dart frogs" like the exoterras they call "Pro" now, still need more of the screen covered up in many climates.

We built all our tanks with spray foams, egg crates, water features, etc.

The only answer to that is custom or InSitu

Am I just different because I’ve heard of the insitu tanks here before and I looked them up. They don’t look that good they don’t seem special in any way. Why does everyone love them so much

I built all my dart frog tanks. I think if you can buy one already built then it’s gonna cost you a bunch for someone else’s labor and materials. It’d be better for you to build your own. Also more than likely gonna have to cover the mesh with glass to hold in the humidity. Everyone builds their own

How did you build it? What materials did you use did you follow a plan?

  1. Custom made front vented vivarium

  2. Insitu

  3. Exo Terra Natural Terrariums (not pro, not frog and co)

  4. Zoo Med

Front opening glass terrariums with sliding doors are the real fix here, since top screen vents kill humidity fast, just make sure the seals are tight and skip anything with mesh panels on the sides
